This recording of Tartuffe is part of a ten-part collection series of Molieres plays.
I am unsure whether or not the production is performed inside the Comedie-Francaise
playhouse. However, the description states that the actors are part of the ComedieFrancaise acting company.

Jean-Antoine Watteau depicts actors in the famous theatre Comedie-Francaise by

artwork are actors of the well-known Commedia dell'Arte. The painting sheds some light
on the costumes used in production.
