The Impostor

The Impostor is Hoipolloi’s hilarious new version of one of Molière’s classic comedies, full of imagination, visual excitement and comic invention.

A mysterious stranger arrives in a house preoccupied with reputation and vanity, in a society ruled by scandal and gossip. With beguiling charm, wit and his virtuous ways, the stranger persuades the Master of the House to welcome him into his family.

But is he really the honest and moral man he seems to be? With the Master fooled and ready to hand over his wealth and his daughter, it’s left to the rest of the household to trick the trickster. Can they expose him and his hypocrisy or will the impostor get the last laugh?

A farcical tale of who we choose to trust and how easily we can be conned.

The Impostor was originally produced in association with Watford Palace Theatre.
