This play is part of a category called "comedy of manners." The satirical target in all plays of this sort is the pretensions and affectations of the wealthy. Because rich people, especially old money, have a large number of social expectations on them, they tend to behave in a very artificial way, which makes them easy to mock.

I don't think it is intended as satire - it is just a perfect comedy.
