Theater: The Imaginary Invalid
Molière’s last comedy rings with contemporary wit in UMass alumna and Five College playwright Constance Congdon’s new adaptation. Argan, a hypochondriac, has concocted a plan to ensure that he will have free health care for the rest of his life: He will have his daughter Angelique marry a doctor! Unfortunately for him Angelique has plans of her own, and Argan's wife has her own schemes afoot, and the wily maid Toinette must come to the rescue. A satire of the world of medicine and those who buy into it, The Imaginary Invalid is a sharply funny holiday treat.
