Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory

In a co-production with Tobacco Factory Theatres, Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory Theatre (stf) premières its freewheeling adaptation of the most performed play in the history of French classical theatre.

Tartuffe, Molière’s master of self-invention, is now alive and on the make in present-day London. A credulous government minister is duped into surrendering his family’s wealth – and very nearly his wife and daughter – to one of drama’s greatest conmen.

Cast includes stf regulars Chris Bianchi, Alan Coveney and Saskia Portway. Andrew Hilton directs.
