Synopsis

A free adaptation of Molière's Tartuffe, which relocates this savage look at religious bigotry to Ireland in 1992, at the time of the Right to Travel and Information Referenda. The play examines what happens when an ordinary Irish household comes under the influence of a religious hypocrite trying to impose his warped ideals on others, while being a scoundrel himself.
