Molière's 'The Pretentious Young Ladies', a one-act satirical play, mocks the ultra-witty précieuses, women who indulge in lively conversations, word games, and preciousness. Magdelon and Cathos, two aspiring précieuses from the provinces, come to Paris in search of love and jeux d'esprit. However, their father and uncle's eminently eligible matches prove unrefined, leading to ridicule. The men vow revenge on the précieuses, and two impostors enter the scene, posing as sophisticated suitors. This play is a witty and sharp critique of French society in the 17th century, highlighting the dangers of obsession with outward appearances and shallow conversation.

The Pretentious Young Ladies (Les Précieuses ridicules) is a one-act satire by Molière in prose. It takes aim at the précieuses, the ultra-witty ladies who indulged in lively conversations, word games and, in a word, préciosité (preciousness).The Pretentious Young Ladies is a biting comedy of manners that brought Molière and his company to the attention of Parisians, after they had toured the provinces for years. The play received its Paris premiere on 18 November 1659 at the Théâtre du Petit-Bourbon. It seems not to have been staged before that in the provinces. It was highly successful and attracted the patronage of Louis XIV to Molière and company. Les Précieuses ridicules still plays well today.
