Andy McLean writes about dollars and divinity in Molière’s 'Tartuffe'
"According to Evans, the way Tartuffe looks at hypocrisy and the relationship between religion and money is as pertinent as it’s ever been."
"What a novel way to tart up a dusty seventeenth-century play, a favourite with Louis XIV."
"...The cheerful success of Justin Fleming’s version, in a lively production by Peter Evans, is a considerable achievement. Fleming has translated it all into thumping English verse with an Australian and often scatalogical vernacular that is clever and funny. Just listening to the performers deliver it would be entertainment enough."
"This is Bell Shakespeare at it’s best – smart, funny, relevant, epic, sexy, saucy, cheeky, brutal fun."
"Fleming’s adaptation is as sophisticated as it is bracing. He has ripped into Molière’s original with gusto, whisking us off on a hysterical journey of rhyming verse."
