Moliere’s 17th Century comedy gets a fresh dressing in this raucous translation by Miles Malleson. The ever ailing Monsieur Argan drags his entire family through his hypochondriatic woes, even attempting to marry his own daughter to a bumbling medicine student to cut the costs of his pharmacy bills. A scheming stepmother, a meddling maid, an overbearing doctor, and a handsomely disguised ingénue all sing, dance and fake their own deaths to make truth and love the remedies of this hysterical play.
