Hailed as an “uproarious comedy” (The Daily Telegraph ★★★★) and “nothing short of sensational” (The Stage ★★★★), Darren Raymond’s bold new take on Molière’s classic Tartuffe sees “Mark Rylance in sizzling comic form” (Financial Times ★★★★).
Transporting the action into a modern Nigerian–Jamaican household “Raymond's adaptation of Tartuffe signals another watershed moment for British Theatre” (The New Current ★★★★), delivering "a joyous, heartfelt, and hilarious production” (Melodrama Mag ★★★★★).
The Afolabi–Williams family have a wedding to plan: relatives arrive from far and wide, family traditions are in full swing, emotions are running high and opinions are never in short supply. But loyalties are tested by the arrival of Pastor Blake, so the family must come together to expose the truth before everything they hold dear is torn apart in this “fresh, relevant and thoroughly entertaining” (Afridiziak Theatre News ★★★★) night at the theatre.
This remix has it all - it is “an enjoyable, knockabout take on a classic”(Standard) and “an affectionate love letter to the sometimes contrasting traditions and beliefs of African and Caribbean families”(WhatsOnStage ★★★★) whilst always remaining “funny, entertaining and accessible.”(London Theatre Pubs ★★★★)
The “loud, proud and gloriously over the top” (All That Dazzles ★★★★) Tartuffe (Remixed) fuses rhyming verse, spoken word and music in a fresh and fearless reimagining that is “wonderful to watch” (Time Out).
Tickets are selling fast for this “phenomenal” (London Box Office ★★★★) production, but with more seats being released daily and your chance to win access to £20 front-row seats in our weekly lottery, there is still plenty of opportunity to get a ticket.
Whatever you do, don’t miss this “powerful, enriching theatre that restores one’s faith in humanity.” (Spy in the Stalls ★★★★★), playing at Marylebone Theatre until 24 October.
