A divine deception unfolds in an Upper East Side mansion—where faith, lust, and hypocrisy collide.
Tony Award® winner André De Shields headlines an immersive reimagining of Molière’s Tartuffe, staged inside the historic House of the Redeemer on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. For a strictly limited engagement, only 100 guests per evening are invited into this exclusive site-specific production—a decadent fusion of theater, ritual, and satire.
Set in the home of Orgon, whose devotion to a deceitful holy man spirals into chaos, Tartuffe exposes greed, hypocrisy, and moral blindness. As the family unmasks the impostor, Molière’s 17th-century scandal transforms into a sharp reflection of contemporary excess and self-deception.
Featuring a razor-edged new translation by Ranjit Bolt (OBE) and direction by Keaton Wooden, the production unfolds as an intimate parlor event with moments of optional audience interaction. A limited VIP experience grants access to live music, the mansion’s private salon, and its 400-year-old library—offering a rare glimpse into one of New York’s most exclusive settings.
