A modest and devout young man appears in the house of Mr. Orgon. The host is so enchanted by the noble and learned guest that he is ready to give him not only his last shirt but also the family estate, money, and his beautiful daughter as well. However, beneath the mask of a selfless saint lies a cunning scoundrel, a fraudster and a rogue, who ensnares the trusting fool. Meanwhile, Tartuffe, having taken possession of all the household's wealth, attempts not only to obtain the daughter but also to seduce the unfortunate Orgon's wife. This brilliant comedy by Molière will never leave the world’s theatrical stages, just as "Tartuffes will not die!". A talented rogue, who virtuously manipulates people, plays with enthusiasm, making watching this unique specimen of the quintessence of hypocrisy, baseness, and deceit an incredible pleasure. And the moral of this fable is clear - a person tends to see what they want to see, and many of us secretly wish to be deceived. So, "a fool doesn’t need a knife"... and so on in rhyme.
