Flipote The maid to Madame Pernelle. She is 12 years old and lives in Madame Pernelle's home. She is treated quite badly by her. Although we only meet her once in the play, we know she has probably suffered since Tartuffe has been around. We decided she had a pet mouse who lives at Madame Pernelle's house called Jeremy.
Sabrina Messer

Dorine The families beloved maid, who can't shut up. She is the one who stepped up to role of mother when the children's mother died. She is extremely intelligent, but socially not academically. She sees straight through Tartuffe, and she hatches the plan to catch him out with Elmire. Although she is a servant, she is part of the family.

Sabrina Messer - Act 2 
Helena McColl - Act 1

Lucy Menzies Act 3/4/5

 Tartuffe The imposter into the Pernelle household. He and Laurent have hatched plans like this before. They are both dirt poor. He has spent his life in the gutter, he see's how unfair it is that he was born into poverty and families like the Pernelle's were born into wealth. He is living under a fake name, and is wanted for other crimes under different names. He has raped women and possibly killed people.
Gabriel Akuwudike- Act 3

Laurent (Max Keeble) Tartuffe's serving boy. We only meet him once. He is Irish, and physically and mentally disabled. He has helped Tartuffe with many other crimes and schemes before.

Officer The kings officer. He comes in to arrest Tartuffe at the end and give an ode to the king. This part was probably written in by Moliere to please King Louis.
