Dear Charles [E. Gerber, Director of and Actor in],
Thank you for inviting me to 'Tartuffe.' Over the years, I have seen many productions of the play. Yours ranks among the best of them. You have assembled a wonderfully talented and spirited cast. Your choice of the translation by Paul Weidner was brilliant.
While maintaining all of Moliere's wit, the dialogue was accessible and pleasing to the ear. I admire your constant need and search for improvement. From your earliest productions to your last, there has been a steady and continual artistic growth that's truly inspiring.
Yours, Moni Yakim
