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