  “Drama 120: Heritage of Dramatic Literature - A hilarious play that I absolutely enjoyed experiencing. A Commedia Del'arte that exhibits why comedy is more dangerous than tragedy. Main characters are Orgon, Tartuffe, Elmire, Valare, and Mariane. ”

  “funny story which well describes ideas of the time, for example a wish of spirituality from baroque mixing with some advanced ideas of the age of enlightenment. i would give it more then "I liked this" if it would be written like a story and not like a drama.”

  “Spot-on comedy about a dysfunctional family and the "solution" Dad brings home, a fake religous pilgrim. Moliere's wit translated into English by Wilbur (avoid all other translators!) is quick and sharp, uses physical and verbal humor to bring it home: what is wrong with this family was here long before M. Tartuffe walked in... but yeah, now he's the problem and what will we do? Marvelous example of why Moliere was popular 400 years ago and is still the best comic writer of all.”

  “Fake piety really rubs me the wrong way. It was great to see religious hypocrisy set in a humorous setting. I loved the wittiness. It's a short but enjoyable read. It is not anti religious as some people think. It's anti hypocrisy.”

  “It's so interesting! The role is funny but it shot all the type of hypocrits.. A beggar "playing" as a very religious man, manipulate many people to get what he wants.. To Be Rich !! ”
