About the Play: Wealthy and foolish Monsieur Jourdain is in love with the Countess Dorimène and aches to be what he is not: a member of the aristocracy. Determined to overcome his low birth with an "education" in high style, he unwittingly surrounds himself with charlatans and swindlers who gleefully take his money and prey on his innocence. Ingenious servants, pedantic masters, devious nobles, and earnest young lovers all propel this delightful satire of nouveau riche social climbers. In the end, is the "nobility" to which Jourdain so ardently aspires all that admirable?
