THE IMAGINARY INVALID

About the show

Bill Irwin heads the cast of his new adaptation of Molière's classic comedy, directed by Brandon J. Dirden. The production centers on Argan, a man consumed by imagined illnesses who devises schemes around his preoccupation with medical expenses. When he attempts to arrange his daughter's marriage to a physician to economize on health care, her own aspirations complicate his plans. The ensemble delivers a sharp, contemporary take on a centuries-old exploration of hypochondria and family dynamics, examining how self-absorption and misguided intentions disrupt the lives of those around us.
