After Tartuffe: A re-working of Moliere’s Tartuffe, set in a Christian Fundamentalist post-apocalyptic America. The population has been decimated by the super-strain of the Avian Flu – stolen from a lab, probably by Fundamentalists. Oral, a rich businessman, has opened his home to a former megachurch pastor, disgraced in sex scandals: the Reverend Chadwick Pusser. Oral’s son Daniel cannot be free with Tyler, the guy he loves, with Pusser around, planting hidden cameras. Daniel reads SF alternate histories and suspects his own world is an aberration. He asks the website oracle.net for the original draft of Moliere’s play Tartuffe – the one that was banned, before Moliere watered the play down. Daniel thinks if he can get a pdf of the original, the universe will shift back to what it should be. Tyler’s older brother Vaughn is engaged to Daniel’s younger sister Mary-Anne – but Oral decides to force Mary-Anne to marry Reverend Pusser, horrifying her. Pusser tells Oral to control women; he cites Lot as the kind of upright man the Lord smiles on. Oral won’t listen to truth when Reverend Pusser makes a pass at Oral’s wife Alma, or hear the outspoken housekeeper Doreen, who denounces Pusser and tries to get Mary-Anne to stand up for herself. Daniel rejects a pass from Pusser, and tells Oral. Pusser claims he taped footage of Daniel and Tyler having sex, but erased it – too painful for Oral to watch. Daniel says Pusser is lying, but comes out – and Oral throws him out of the house. Alma convinces Oral to listen as she flirts with Pusser. Soon, Pusser’s all over her. Oral confronts him at last. Pusser tells Oral the house is Pusser’s now; Oral gave him his bank password, and Pusser has dirt on the family. Things don’t go quite as Daniel hopes, in terms of the Oracle, and thwarting Pusser . . . Yet ultimately, Daniel is not without hope or a sense of purpose, and the whole family may be better off.
