Moliere’s last play, the outrageously funny farce The Imaginary Invalid, tells the story of the rich and really unbelievably stupid hypochondriac Argan, who wants his daughter to marry a doctor so he can save on his medical bills. But she’s in love with someone else. Argan’s foolish and unshakable devotion to medicine is out of control, and it is up to Toinette, the family’s clever and perky servant, to set the household straight again. Much madness ensues… Our production, based on Constance Congdon’s adaptation of the play, will feature music, song, and dance, drag-inspired costumes, wigs and makeup, pillow fights, one-thousand ping-pong balls, edible scenery, and who knows what other unspeakable acts of insanity … It’s a mad mad world!!!
