Rhode Island premiere of a new adaptation of Moliere’s THE HYPOCHONDRIAC, or the
Imaginary Invalid, directed by Wendy Overly.
Moliere's classic farce pokes fun at Argan, a man so obsessed by his own imaginary ailments that he can no longer control his haphazard household or the mercenary medics he employs. With doctors determined to grow fat from the profits of his condition, Argan's closest relatives battle to show him the truth of his situation. Using elaborate trickery, they strive to cure the real disease from which he suffers, managing to pile confusion upon hilarious confusion.
"Fundamental French farce...The show's virtue, however, is its fidelity to Molière in combining broad-bottomed farce with an assault on the morbid egotism of those for whom illness becomes a way of life." – The Guardian
