Imaginary Invalid

a comedy by Molière, Directed by Lee Stille

Argon, a raging hypochondriac attempts to marry off
his beautiful daughter Angelique to an incompetent doctor in order to obtain
permanent health care. Argon’s gold-digging dominatrix of a wife, Beline, has her own plans for the future while his smart, sassy servant Toinette uses her sharp tongue and sharper wit to keep the chaos under control and the household together.

Magruder’s smart and sassy contemporary adaptation includes a prelude,
interludes and a grand finale that bring Molière’s outrageous social commentary on doctors and medicine back to the “comédie ballet” that Molière had originally intended. Honoring this original intent allows for the marvelous addition of bebopping satyrs, a collection of harem girl’s doing a Bollywood/hip-hop mash-up and an opera tango…not to mention a mariachi chorus of doctors.

A play of idiocy, love, farts and general mayhem.
