Tras varios siglos, Tartufo (¡un bendito de Dios!) sigue resultando una obra actual (y actualizada, adaptaciones mediante) y vivaz, con un ritmo que engancha tanto en el escenario como fuera de él. Las traducciones al castellano que se han realizado han tratado de mantener esa frescura, prescindiendo en ocasiones de circunloquios, palabrejos y reiteraciones innecesarias, tan a la francesa.

Totalmente recomendable como lectura ligera si os gusta el teatro y, si podéis asistir a una representación, aprovechad la oportunidad, suelen ser bastante divertidas.

I don’t know if it was only my translation that had rhyming schemes throughout, but i loved it, and spent too much time reading it aloud to hear it fall together. 

Also, religious fanatics who disregard matthew 6:5 and use their piety to get their way never really go away, huh?

A pretty funny play, especially when you detect the hypocrisy spoken in the characters, saying something when they don't mean it. I wish it were longer though, it took two acts for Tartuffe to appear, and I can't get enough of the guy. I think there should be some better reasoning for his Orgon completely fell under his spell, since I feel like Tartuffe's indirect characterisation was more well defined and impressive than his direct characterisation.
