					| Description | 
  					The bourgeois gentleman is Jourdain; nouveau riche, boor, rat-cunning, but painfully aware of his lack of gentility. He employs a bewildering array of consultants to teach him the trappings of a true gentleman; philosophers, tailors, dancing instructors, fencing coaches all come and go in a rapid sequence of scenes that tear strips off the pretensions and foibles of the times.  |
