Tartuffe: Moliere's stylishly biting satire of religious hypocrisy in Paris in the 1660s opens tonight at 8:00 p.m. at the University of Miami's Jerry Herman Ring Theatre (1380 Miller Dr., Coral Gables). Here's a quick synopsis for those of you who didn't read this in high school (or can't remember high school): Con man Tartuffe insinuates himself into the Paris home of the wealthy Orgon, where he turns around and tries to marry his daughter, seduce his wife, and swindle the deed to his property. The fun here is in the language -- Pulitzer Prize-winning Moliere translator Richard Wilbur manages to retain the scathing brilliance and rhythmic rhyming of the French original. Tickets cost $12 and $15. Performances continue through February 15, then February 18 to February 22 at 8:00, with a 2:00 p.m. matinee on February 15 and February 22. Call 284-3355. (
