Seingat saya baru dua kali saya membaca karya drama komedi klasik penulis Barat. Salah satunya adalah "Much A do About Nothing" karya William Shakespeare. yang kedua, tentu saja Tartuffe ini.
Ini adalah kisah tentang seorang bangsawan bernama Orgon yang ditipu habis-habisan oleh Tartuffe, seorang munafik yang dalam perkataan dan perbuatannya selalu mengatasnamakan Tuhan. Tentu saja, semuanya dilakukan dalam rangka keuntungan pribadi.
Yang menyebalkan, demi Tartuffe, Orgon sampa...more

Read the play, then saw it performed. Thank God for actors! The written word's not half as witty, nor as interesting, as people living the lines on stage. Had never seen nor read Moliere before. Broad farce, mostly religious and social satire. He wrote about 50 years after Shakespeare. Funny how Not Different we are from people 350 years ago. Same foibles, same concerns...and same sense of humor, obviously, because the audience I was in loved the jokes.

If you can, read this play in a group of friends, it can be a great experience. I did this while in a summer study program at Calvin College, and it made this hilarious yet highly educational play come to life. A great critique of the role of organized church in society, and the naive tools that obeyed it blindly back then, and still might do today. Definitely read it in a group if you can.

I remember them since my childhood when we use to see them in theatre, adabted in Persian. Later on, when I started to read Moliere, I thaught surprising, ... poor him, he was so lucky he died before he could see the adabted versions of his plays in Persian, ..

This is the only play I remember actually liking and reading through on my own time. I need to read it again, since I read it in high school, and see how it stacks up now. It's less than 100 pages (I want to say around 60, but it's been a long time), so it would be a quick read.

Just starting it...Wilbur has some things worth saying about productions of the play in his introduction...apparently he's the David Mamet of Moliere, sensibility-wise. It's nice to see a good poet do a translation of verse...good results.
