Initially banned in France by King Louis, Moliere's celebrated social satire Tartuffe exposes false piety and hypocrisy in the Catholic Church.
When a pious fraud worms his way into a wealthy family and manipulates the patriarch into giving up his fortune, it's up to his family to expose the truth before they end up in the poorhouse!
