REVIEWS:
REVIEWS:
"The assumption behind this ferociously brilliant production is that Tartuffe is much too serious and alarming a work to be insulated behind any English equivalent of French classical style. The greatest compliment I can bestow on Hampton's translation is that... you hardly notice it. Plain, perfectly phrased blank verse does the job."
London Times
