A well-directed production proves that funny never goes out of style. This “Tartuffe” feels very now thematically, thanks to director Richard Baird, who humanizes the characters in this 17th-century farce. Baird has fielded a champagne cast for this production, which is a true ensemble piece with good work done by all.

Let’s not bandy words. The North Coast Repertory Theatre revival of Molière‘s comedy Tartuffe is a brilliant success. The production is one of those rare instances in which the greatness of the play unites with a faultless cast and masterful staging to produce a genuinely memorable theatrical and dramatic experience.
- Stage and Cinema
This production directed by Richard Baird is broad but searing and most of all tremendous fun. Given those costumes designed by Elisa Benzoni, Peter Herman’s wigs and Marty Burnett’s posh-perfect set, this “Tartuffe” is a visual treat, yet that’s only part of this staging’s appeal. An exceptional cast!

The opportunity to see a classic like this fully staged should not be passed up.

North Coast Rep’s presentation of Moliere's "Tartuffe" is a beautifully produced, witty, satirical, and delightfully funny play.
- The North County Daily Star/The Vista Press
North Coast Rep doesn’t fool around. They got Richard Baird to direct Richard Wilbur’s translation of the play, and you can’t get better than that. Baird knows about timing and how to get the most laughs per line. Don’t miss this production.
