Respected for his interpretations of Moliere, Brian Bedford plays Tartuffe's good-hearted, but clueless victim Orgon opposite Goodman as the religious con man of the title. Also in the cast are J. Smith-Cameron as the sharp-tongued maid Dorine, John Bedford Lloyd as Cleante, Jeffrey Carlson as Valere, T.R. Knight as Damis, Bryce Dallas Howard as Mariane, Rosaleen Linehan as Madame Pernelle, Philip Goodwin as Mons. Loyal and Kathryn Meisle as Elmire, Orgon's wife and the objection of Tartuffe's lust.
Produced by the Roundabout Theatre, Tartuffe began performances at Broadway's American Airlines Theatre on Dec. 6. Joe Dowling directs the classic Moliere comedy.
