Conor Mead Jack Menzies Beth Moger Historical Context: Tartuffe Lauren Kottenstette, Dramaturg Does life imitate art, or art imitate life? When the first production meetings of Tartuffe took place over the summer of 2014, none of us could foresee just how strongly a French satirical play with opinions regarding the distortion of religion would connect with 2015 headlines. Given the recent events in Paris at Charlie Hedbo, it is timely to bring this French satire center stage. Molière was a French actor, director, and playwright in the seventeenth century, best known for creating a new form of comedic expression. Defined as French high comedy, Molière fashioned a style that utilizes wit and satire as a way to critique the upper class members of society. With such honest, and sometimes unpopular, insights he was not always the most popular person in Paris. The first performance of Tartuffe took place in 1664 at the Palace of Versailles. It caused outrage from some religious members of the royal court, even those who had not seen or read the play. There was so much pressure that King Louis XIV banned future performances. It wasn’t until five years later, in 1669, that the first legal, public performance took place. During the interim, Molière re-wrote Tartuffe two more times. Of the three versions of the play, only the 1669 version has survived. After many correspondences with the king, Molière’s request to allow the play to be performed was finally approved. While the public responded with enthusiasm, Tartuffe still caused uproar with the Catholic Church. While much of Europe was experiencing unrest between the Protestant and Catholic faiths during the 17th century, France had remained mainly Catholic. This allowed the Catholic Church to embed itself into many parts of the French social hierarchy, including some who wanted to use their faith for personal gain. Scholars still debate if Molière based the character of Tartuffe after a specific hypocrite or a group. The reasoning behind the King’s sudden flip-flop that allowed Tartuffe to be performed publicly is still officially unknown, though some believe it was because the King’s mother (and possible inspiration for Madame Pernelle) had passed away. Tartuffe is the most popular French play of its time. Between 1680 and 1900 the Comédie-Française (France’s celebrated state theatre) performed Tartuffe over 2,000 times! The play is now almost 350 years old, yet its concerns are still relevant today.
