The Imaginary Invalid - Softcover
A hypochondriac, victimized by pompous physicians, tests the loyalty of a loving daughter and discovers the contempt of his scheming and greedy second wife. This classic comedy from one of the most brilliant satirists in the history of literature deflates the pretensions of society and reveals the universal frailties of humanity.

From the Inside Flap:
France's master comic playwright has a field day with the subjects of hypochondria and our blind obedience to doctors. Moli re's witty attack on the medical profession has more than a little resonance today.
About the Author:
An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance starring The Actor's Gang: Molly Bryant, Tom Fitzpatrick, Laurence O'Keefe, Dan Parker, Evie Peck, Dina Platias, Steven M. Porter, Michael Rivkin, Dean Robinson, Patti Tippo and Chris Wells.
Translated by John Wood, adapted by Beth Milles.
Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, known by his stage name, Molière (January 15, 1622 February 17, 1673), was a French dramatist, director, theatre manager and actor. He is considered one of the greatest masters of comedy in Western literature. From a prosperous family and having studied at the Jesuit Clermont College (now Lycée Louis-le-Grand), Molière left with a good education to begin a life in the theatre. Thirteen years on the road as an actor helped him to polish his comic abilities while he also began writing, combining Commedia dell'Arte elements with the more refined French comedy. Other Molière plays by L.A. Theatre Works are The Misanthrope and The School for Wives.
