An adaptation of Molière's classic, 'Tartuffe' was first performed at The Kennedy Center, Washington DC, in May 1982. Gray's intention was to find, if possible, a completely English play that could pass under the original title, set in the original social and historical context. The Englishness of it was thus a matter of the psychology and the expression. The first entailed the transformation of some of the characters in order that it could be understood why they behave as they do. The second entailed that the characters should speak in a language that expressed the needs and fears of their natures.
