Imaginary Beasts Hit The Road With The Pretentious Young Ladies Tour
This summer the Imaginary Beasts ensemble is on tour with their latest theatrical adventure:
The Pretentious Young Ladies by Molière
Directed and freely adapted by: Matthew Woods
Slapstick and social satire join forces in this scathing but scintillating send-up of high society. When two affected young ladies move to Paris, they hope to find a fast track into the fashionable set's inner circle. But when they reject the proposals of two would-be suitors, they get more than they bargained for. Add to the mix not one, but two, outlandish valets who fancy themselves men of distinction, and you have a sure-fire recipe for mirth.*This fashionable farce is appropriate for the whole family!

Widely considered one of the greatest masters of Western comedy, Molière was a French playwright and actor who wrote during the mid-to-late 17th Century. Though he received great criticism from the Catholic Church and other moralists of the day, he was a darling in the court of Louis XV. Today, he is recognized as the grandfather of modern French comedy, and his plays are still widely performed the world over.
