Teressa Byrne '92 in re-imagined "Tartuffe"

Elmire, the character portrayed by Teressa Byrne ’92 in the “re-envisioned” Theater@Boston Court production of the classic Moliere comedy “Tartuffe,” directed by Josh Chambers, is described as “Spectacularly sexy and compulsively debauched” in the company’s character breakdown, “like a smashed and blood spattered busload of silent film starlets.”

“This Tartuffe upends the expectations of a Comedy of Manners,” adds the press material for the production, “in the pastel washes and smog-stained environs of ‘The Other Hollywood,’ the San Fernando Valley. Suburbia becomes the battleground for a spiritual and cultural civil war between art and commerce, charlatan and saint. Pop art and industrial music lift Moliere's delicious rhymes and indictment of hypocrisy and drops them in our own back yard.”
