Last summer, Molière in the Park (@moliereinthepark)held its inaugural season in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park—a Francophile’s answer to Manhattan’s Shakespeare in the Park series. The company was set to return this May, with “The Misanthrope,” but a certain pandemic got in the way. Instead, it mounted the play on its YouTube channel, with cast members dropping in from places as far-flung as Milwaukee and Perugia, Italy. A second production, “Tartuffe,” Molière’s comic study of hypocrisy from 1664, will be live-streamed on June 27, starring the Broadway leading man Raúl Esparza and Samira Wiley (“Orange Is the New Black”) and staged by the group’s artistic director, Lucie Tiberghien. The play is performed in Richard Wilbur’s English translation, but viewers can opt for closed captioning in French. Visit moliereinthepark.org. — Michael Schulman | Posted on 27/Jun/2020 02:00:11
