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.
