Mark Rylance stars in contemporary ‘Tartuffe (Remixed)’ in London

Mark Rylance is starring in a contemporary production of Molière’s comedy, ‘Tartuffe (Remixed)’, at the Marylebone Theatre in London. Directed by Darren Raymond, this version reimagines the classic play by setting it within a modern Jamaican-Nigerian wedding.

Rylance portrays Pastor Blake, a scheming religious charlatan. The production maintains the original’s rhyming couplet structure while exploring cultural friction and familial dynamics between Nigerian-British and Jamaican-British characters.
