The Imaginary Invalid (Short Version) (Mooney)
Timothy Mooney
The Imaginary Invalid
by Molière, adapted by Constance Congdon, based on a new translation by Dan Smith
Synopsis
Love is funny.
Love is trickery.
Love is … smelly?
It's certainly a merry-go-round of misplaced desires and hidden agendas in Constance Congdon's fresh and hilarious new take on Molière's skewering of a health-care crisis from an entirely different century.
To quell his growing pile of medical bills, Monsieur Argan, a chronic hypochondriac, will go to any length to marry his daughter off to a doctor.
Of course, his daughter has other ideas.
A narcotic cocktail of romantic triangles, double entendres, and mistaken identities ensues, promising to leave you gasping, giggling, and possibly … in stitches.
