The Imaginary Invalid (Hatcher)
by Jean-baptiste Moliere, Jeffrey Hatcher
Synopsis
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 by Jeffrey Hatcher, The Imaginary Invalid is a brilliant satire of the doctors, lawyers and would-be patients who take self-care to staggering levels of pathology.
A comic whirlwind of pills, lovers, therapies, disguises, vaccinations, impersonations, masks, mindfulness and miracle cures.
