Synopsis:

“A sharp, vigorously funny and topical comedy” Whatsonstage
 
Written by BAFTA and Emmy Award-winning writers, Anil Gupta and Richard Pinto (The Office, Goodness Gracious Me, The Kumars at No.42, Citizen Khan) this reimagined comedy is not to be missed. Tartuffe has the gift of the gab. A spirituality. A certain aura about him, that comes only when you claim to have Allah on your side, hundreds of Twitter followers and access to the family’s bank account.
 
“Moliere and a dollop of fun in Brum” Daily Mail
 
Eventually, the lies and deceit unfold in this wickedly funny Brummie comedy about faith, family and #fakingit.
 
“This edgy comedy is just what theatre needs” Daily Telegraph
 
After a smash-hit run at the RSC in 2018 this updated Tartuffe, set in Sparkhill transfers to its spiritual home when it comes to The Rep this Autumn.
