Written in the final days of the playwright’s life, this ebullient and best-loved of Moliere’s comedies is a scintillating satire on the medical profession. In a sparkling new translation and adaptation, poor hypochondriac Argan hatches a plot to combat his soaring medical costs. Doctors and their patients are “dissected” when Argan decides his daughter must marry a physician so that he will always have a doctor on call. But his daughter has fallen for someone else and her stepmother wants her in a convent – so it is up to Argan’s crafty maid to devise a cure for the entire household’s woes. This riotous script overflows with all of Moliere’s perfect prescription for whatever ails you.
