The Would-Be Gentleman by Olfson, Lewy MUSIC: Lighthearted theme, in and under. NARRATOR: Did you just hear those two? They are Monsieur and Madame Jourdain, going at the same old argument between them for the—well, at least the twenty-seventh time this week! It’s always the same: Monsieur Jourdain wants to be a high-class nobleman, and Madame Jourdain wants simply to be Madame Jourdain! A great playwright once wrote a marvelously funny comedy about them, in which he told the entire story. Want to hear it? All right, then: ladies and gentlemen, we now present the famous comedy by Molière, “The Would-Be Gentleman.” The Would-Be Gentleman, by Moliere, adapted by Lewy Olfson © This play is reprinted from Plays, The Drama Magazine for Young People with the permission of the publisher Plays/Sterling Partners Inc. 897 Washington Street #600160, Newton, MA 02460 Question Use the passage to answer the question.
