This play is a translation of Moliere.s Les Preieuses Ridicules and is actively staged by Slingshot Theatre. Wannabe aristocrats, cousins Magdelon and Cathos are being wooed by various suitors, while being ‘aided’ by parents trying to get them to act as normal teenagers and an inept maid. I must admit that I found this play hard work. I’m not too sure what the translator or the company were trying to achieve with this, but I was confused to say the least, and I was not alone, judging by the comments I heard in leaving the theatre. The actors did give convincing performances and remained in character throughout and the simple but effective set did its job. *
