Synopsis

The ‘It’ Girls is a one act comedy and one of Moliere’s earliest plays.

Magdelon and Cathos are two young fashion victims, eager to be “in” with the British aristocracy. As a result they rebuke two socially inadequate suitors La Grange and Du Croisy. The mens' manners don’t fit with the girls' ideas of the upper class, yet they are the real thing.

The rebuke prompts the men to send their cleaner and lawn boy to the ladies as a punishment. Mascarille, the lawn boy is a failed lit student with writing aspirations. Jodelet, the cleaner leading a war on germs, sees this as an opportunity to show off his past military glory.

Of course truth has to come out eventually...

“The ‘it’ Girls” is a very British play yet it hasn’t been performed in England for at least ten years.

Filled with embarrassing truths, "The 'it' Girls" is a trip down memory lane- teenage years, peer-pressure and cringing are de rigueur.
