tour de farce

Posted by Catherine Jones on May 16, 2008 8:29 AM | 

I've been telling everyone I meet: "you must go and see Tartuffe."
The Roger McGough-adapted, Gemma Bodinetz-directed rhyming comedy is on at the Playhouse until May 31.
And it seems to be playing to standing ovations most nights.
I'm happy to admit I was so bowled over by the production I gave it 10/10 in my review yesterday - only the second 10 I have handed out in more than five years of reviewing for the Echo.
On the face of it, the idea of going to see a 17th century French play about religious hypocrisy may not appeal to everyone.
But you'll regret it if you don't go.
A Capital of Culture highlight. In fact, a highlight of any time and any where.
