The Imaginary Invalid
By Moliere
Directed by Patricia Boyette
Cough! Wheeze! Gasp! Argan, a miserly hypochondriac, wants his daughter, Angelique, to marry a doctor—for the free medical care. This new translation of Moliere's farcical comedy pokes fun at the medical profession, family corruption, and absurdities in familial duty. Produced in the "Steampunk" aesthetic, a fantastical spin Victorian decadence and turn-of-the-century industrialization, this costume drama will delight through its combination of satiric commentary, physical farce, and stunning visuals.
Produced by UW-Madison at the Mitchell Theatre, 821 University Ave, UW Vilas Hall, Madison
Performances: October 23 - November 7, 2009
hahahaha, we just did this play for our year 11 production...yours looks slightly better :P oddly enough though, our Argan's have the exact same pronounciation of things and place stress on the same syllables :P
