First performed in 1673, Moliere's The Imaginary Invalid has been making audiences laugh for centuries - proving that while fashions may change, dysfunctional families never go out of style! Tony Award winner Bill Irwin returns to the stage in a brand-new adaptation of The Imaginary Invalid! Directed by Broadway veteran Brandon J. Dirden, this fast-paced new production brings Moliere’s timeless satire crashing into the modern day with chaotic family drama, outrageous schemes and plenty of side-splitting moments.
Argan is convinced he's permanently unwell, obsessing over every ache, pain and imaginary illness while turning his household upside down in the process. From endless doctor's appointments to an ever-growing collection of remedies, he's determined to make his health everyone's business.
But Argan has a cunning plan to cut down on his ever-increasing medical bills: marry his daughter off to a doctor! There's just one little problem. His daughter has plans of her own, and she's not about to let her father decide her future.
As Argan's family and household get caught up in his increasingly ridiculous schemes, can his daughter outsmart him? Will Argan finally see sense? And just how far will he go to keep his beloved doctors close?
