TIRANA, May 28 – Moliere’s famous Tartuffe comedy is coming as a premiere at the National Theatre this weekend in a performance directed by Erion Kame and starring Laert Vasili, Ligoraq Riza and Justina Aliaj.

The comedy satirizing religious hypocrisy is scheduled to show at the National Theatre on May 30 and 31 at 20:00.

In Tartuffe, a comedy in five acts, Molière relates the story of an attempt, by an irreclaimable hypocrite, to destroy the domestic happiness of a citizen who, charmed by his seeming piety, has received him as a prominent guest. In painting such a portrait, this lively assailant of Parisian foibles was in a new element, though one that proved to him perfectly congenial. His genius had a serious side, and on that side he was unquestionably at his best, the character of Tartuffe being drawn with a strength and precision which few dramatists have equalled, writes the theatrehistory.com.
