Welcome Molière is the great-grandfather of satire - a comedic genius whose merciless dissection of character has created still-living archetypes like Harpagon the miser, Sganarelle the doctor-hack and of course, the piety-feigning hypocrite Tartuffe. Originally a criticism of the Catholic Church in 17th century France, Tartuffe remains a biting commentary on our contemporary world of social media self-promotion and publicised charity campaigns. Through timeless comedic conventions like the overheard conversation and the carefully laid trap that descends into chaos, Tartuffe reaches across the centuries to tell us about who we are now. Tartuffe's freshness is due, in no small part, to the genius of Justin Fleming's adaptation. Justin has achieved an incredible feat in transposing a work written in rhyming couplets in 17th century French into feisty, contemporary, Australian vernacular. Moreover, that language feels as witty, poetic, muscular and irreverent to our ears as I suspect it did to the ears of its original audience members.
If Tartuffe reaches across the years then this production reaches across the country and continues our proud history of partnership with Black Swan State Theatre Company. I’m especially happy that we can welcome its outgoing Artistic Director Kate Cherry for her final production before she takes up her new role as head of NIDA. And on our theme of fostering collaboration between organisations, I’m delighted that our two companies will continue their partnership next year when we co-produce Michael Gow’s most recent play, Once in Royal David’s City. On the topic of next year, if you haven’t yet signed on for your season ticket, then please get in quick. I’m happy to say we’ve been experiencing record sales and some performances have already sold out. Enjoy the ride of Tartuffe and I’ll see you in 2017. Sam Artistic Director, Queensland Theatre

Sponsor Message BDO and Board Matters are proud to partner together to sponsor Queensland Theatre’s production of Tartuffe – a war of wits between a falsely pious fraudster and a family conspiring to catch him with his pants around his ankles.
L-R: Alison van Reeken, Tessa Lind, James Sweeny, Alex Williams.
As companies with a long history in Queensland, we believe we have a responsibility to the community in which we have worked and those with whom we will work in the future, to ensure we contribute to a better society; the same society that has sustained our presence in the market over the years. Just as the characters of Tartuffe struggle to overcome the evil in their house, we aim to work with our clients to introduce a level of rigour and governance that ensures their businesses have the resilience and flexibility to deal with the inevitable challenges confronting them. Even more fundamentally, we ensure that checks and balances are in place to protect against the swindling Tartuffes of our time and place! Tony Schiffmann

Writer’s Note We live in an age of spin. The wonderful thing about Tartuffe is that so did Molière. And the spin doctors of religion are a rich field for biting satire.
We're not concerned here - and nor was Molière - with those good people who help the poor, comfort the sick, educate the young and inspire communities to moral action. No. But those charlatans who exploit families at their most vulnerable; those wolves who call young people to their flock and proceed to ruin their lives; those hypocrites who talk of heaven while plundering the earth - for these, Molière is both uproariously funny and gut wrenchingly merciless. He spoke to his century and he speaks to ours. Writing to King Louis XIV, imploring him to allow the potentially explosive Tartuffe to be produced, Molière wrote: "Sire, the duty of the comedy being to reform men through entertainment, I have always believed that, in my
occupation, I could not do better than to attack, by satirical portraits, the vices of my century; and hypocrisy, without doubt, is one of the most common of perversions, and the most dangerous. So I had this idea, that I could render a service to the honest people of your kingdom if I wrote a comedy which exposes these hypocrites by putting on public display the extravagant mask and the hidden trickery of these charlatans of devotion, whose aim is to trap people with fraudulent zeal masquerading as sophisticated piety." The plea worked. The King consented. The Church fumed. The audience laughed. Justin Fleming Playwright
“The plea worked. The King consented. The Church fumed. The audience laughed.” — Justin Fleming, Playwright
A Note from the Designer Tartuffe was written in the second half of the 17th century and when first performed it was presented in costumes and in a setting that were contemporary to the time. Fast forward to a production in 2016 in Brisbane and the question arises – do we recreate the clothes and setting of the original or do we transpose it to our world, allowing it to have the same connection as the original had with its contemporary audience?
Justin Fleming’s version really made that decision for us with his incredibly clever translation, preserving the original structure of the text while using modern Australian language. So it didn’t take myself and Director Kate Cherry long to decide to place the play quite clearly in a modern Australian house and firmly in the present day. It’s a world of shiny
Like an adventure playground that allows kids to play imaginatively, a set should offer opportunities to the director and actors to invent and play. It’s been such a pleasure to watch them play on the set throughout the rehearsal period – often finding ways of using the set that Kate and I could never have imagined during the earlier design process. The potential
contemporary architecture, of designer labels and a world where money is the name of the game.
that we both hoped the set held within has been well and truly realised by this fabulous cast in this wonderful play.
The play also needs a design solution that allows us to move quickly from one scene to another – either a single unit set providing all the needs of the play, or a flexible space able to transform in front of us from one scene to the next. In the end we opted for both – a unit set describing a contemporary house in an upmarket suburb of any Australian city with all the trappings of a well-heeled family, but placed on a revolve allowing us to move from exterior to interior and back, without breaking the momentum of the play.
