Timothy Mooney's adaptation of Molière's "The Learned Ladies" is a delightful comedy that satirizes intellectual snobbery and the pursuit of knowledge. The story revolves around the overly-pretentious Philaminte, the lady-of-the-house consumed by her passion for learning and academia. Despite her scholarly pursuits, chaos ensues as her household becomes a battleground of wit and wisdom and a fight for love and justice. Cleverly adapted to capture the essence of Molière's comedic genius, the play offers a hilarious exploration of the absurdities that arise when intellect and passion collide in a pursuit of higher learning.
