Fwd: See TARTUFFE in Boston Oct. 25





Dell'Arte Company presents TARTUFFE at Emerson College in Boston, Saturday, Oct. 25 at 8pm

"Staged by Perrone as a cornucopia of physical gags and played to hilarious perfection"
- Rob Hurwitt, San Francisco Chronicle

SATURDAY, OCT. 25
Cutler Majestic Theatre, Emerson College, Boston
8pm, Tickets $45

Boisterous characters, lavish comedy and the trademark physicality of the Dell'Arte ensemble combine with the finely crafted satire of Moliere for an evening of masks, music and laughter.
In Tartuffe, a religious charlatan takes over a family's life until the tables are turned by virtue of his own excesses. One of Moliere's most acclaimed plays, this work has a clear contemporary resonance for our times in a visually spectacular production the whole family will enjoy.

Visit the Cutler Majestic Theatre website for more information and to buy tickets.
You can also call 1-800-233-3123 for tickets.
The Culter Majestic Theatre is located at Emerson College in the Heart of Boston's Historic Theatre District, 219 Tremont Street.
