Tartuffe Post Show Talk - Religious Hypocrisy: A Besetting Irish Failing?

As part of the run of our new production of Moliere's Tartuffe, we initiated a series of post-show discussions on themes emerging from the new version of the play by Frank McGuinness. The discussions focussed on the origins of these themes in the play and broadened out to encompass reflections on their relevance for Ireland in the past and the present. Our second talk covered Me Too: confronting patriarchy and sexual oppression. This conversation was explored by curator Catriona Crowe along with journalist and novelist Gene Kerrigan and journalist and writer Caelainn Hogan. In their talk they examined hypocrisy, trying to answer the question if it’s part of the Irish system of elision of difficult things.
