The Bourgeois Gentleman
by Jean-baptiste Moliere, Bernard Sahlins
Synopsis
Molière's beloved comedy features a rising member of the middle class who lusts for social status and higher learning.
The strength of the play lies in its rich comic invention and its sure delineation of character.
Its underlying themes of social striving, financial greed, and love's ingenuity still resonate.
Bernard Sahlins's new adaptation is wonderfully playable.
