Set an alert for when Tartuffe tickets go on sale with TodayTix to experience an updated version of this French masterpiece that stars Tony Award winner Matthew Broderick. Reimagined by one of America's most-produced playwrights, Lucas Hnath, this Tartuffe plays for a limited run, this fall only at New York Theatre Workshop, the downtown powerhouse that launched Rent and Hadestown.
Don't miss this razor-sharp reinvention of Molière’s iconoclastic comedy. In this mad-dash production full of ferocious wit, outrageous design, and downright buffoonery, Tartuffe is a conniving womanizer with an insatiable appetite — and he's gotta get out of the house. How far will the house go to oust him?
A colorful comedy, Tartuffe in New York is sure to be one of the season's most anticipated hits. Tony Award nominee Hnath (Red Speedo, Dana H.) and Obie Award winner Sarah Benson (Teeth) bring this new Tartuffe off Broadway to life.
