Written by Jean Baptiste Moliere and Freyda Thomas

What do you do to stop an invasive cultish preacher who uses lies of biblical proportion to worm his way into your family life, and possibly your town, your city, your country? Through the brilliant storytelling of Molière and Freyda Thomas’ clever adaptation in rhyming couplets, we watch a southern family in the 1980s begin to recognize a taker in their midst in the form of televangelist, Tartuffe. Hilarious mayhem ensues as they recognize the danger, rise up, and remove the culprit. Tartuffe, Born Again adheres closely to the structure and form of the original. Moliere’s legendary comedic characters are delightfully at home in this modern-day version.
