The Imaginary Invalid

Show Page - English

Laughter is the best medicine in this brand-new madcap adaptation of Molière's classic comedy about love, greed, doctors, and deception.

In Molière’s best loved comedy, Monsieur Argan is a notorious hypochondriac whose nonexistent illnesses blind him to the con men and women (his new wife) who prey on his fears to fatten their purses. His plan: marry his daughter to a doctor so he'll have free round-the-clock on-site healthcare for the rest of his life. Newly translated by Mirabelle Ordinaire and adapted for Red Bull by Jeffrey Hatcher, The Imaginary Invalid is a brilliant satire of doctors, lawyers, and would-be patients who take self-care to staggering levels of pathological solipsism. A comic whirlwind of pills, lovers, therapies, disguises, vaccinations, impersonations, masks, mindfulness and miracle cures.

90 minutes with no intermission; starring Mark Linn-Baker (Perfect Strangers) and Sarah Stiles (Hand to God, Tootsie)
