So, I was assigned to read this book as a social studies assignment since I was going to have a upcoming test on it. I was too lazy to read so I decided to take the easy way out, hear the audiobook version. Overall, I was glad this was assigned to me since in the end, I really ended up loving it. At first, it's good but not the best since it's a bit hard memorising who is who. But eventually, you start to realize that this story is amazing. I recommend it even if you hate plays/ dramas. Tartuffe 9/10

I enjoyed this production immensely. Well worth a second - a third hearing. Features the dangers of tittle-tattle in clever poetry. Funny and edifying.

a French classic lives again! Beautifully acted.
