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.
Translator Magruder is [known] for his brash injections of present-day lingo into seldom-seen French comedies that had been deemed stuffy' before he got his ink-stained hand on 'em. Anything goes, anything for a laugh, any port in a storm, even if (especially if) that port happens to be an outhouse. It's a rude, bright, wild show.

reviewed Imaginary Invalid on May 18, 2020 Imaginary Invalid
2020-05-18 - I read this play a week or two before I saw a performance of it at The Oregon Shakespeare Festival, a regional repertory theater in Ashland, Oregon in 2012. Loved them both. Really fun, funny, wise and wonderful. The translations were excellent in terms of conveying the ideas and reading/hearing well. Considering the play is almost 350 years old, that's pretty good!
The play performance however, took some liberties (their right I guess), and put in some ridiculous references to global warming - sooooo politically correct. Sad. But even those foolish parts did not come close to ruining the whole performance, since the play had such great wit to it and the actors did such a great job too.
The play and the festival are both highly recommended.
