Description
MOS Theatre presents:
After successful shows on StagEHd Edinburgh's Theatre Festival and in The Britannia Panopticon world’s oldest surviving music hall in the heart of Glasgow’s historic city centre we come back to Edinburgh with our hilarious adaptation of well-known comedy The Bourgeois Gentleman by Moliere. It centres around the foolish notions of a French tradesman who
desperately tries to become a proper gentleman and move within the
higher circles of society. Silly and ignorant Monsieur Jourdain aspires
to climb the social ladder by buying his way into aristocracy unaware
that everyone around ridicule and cheat him out of everything they can.
As genuine as naive in his unflagging attempts Monsieur Jourdain goes
against the odds and puts at risk everything including his good name and
marriage. Shame, financial ruin, and even a scandalous love affair
seems like not a big price for becoming a dream man of quality. Behind
the obvious satire to an idea of social climbing which is a glimpse of
seventeenth century France, Moliere’s Garden party sets up up-to-date
question about one’s identity, importance of feeling comfortable in own
skin and how far we can go to achieve them.
This timeless classic comedy it's a must see - lots of fun guaranteed and Lady Gaga's baroque covers in the background !
Attend the Party of the season with our troupe :) Great idea for the summer Friday evening :)
