Farce / Characters: 8 males, 4 females
Scenery: Interior
The famous hypochondriac in this classic farce not only complains of a million imaginary ills, but also of his astronomical medical bills. If he marries his daughter to a doctor, he reasons, he will have free medical care. He chooses a double-Latin talking numbskull without consulting the daughter who is already smitten by another. The inventive maid exposes the doctyor and his father as charlatans and demonstrates to the master that his second wife loves his money, not him. Thus are truth and love triumphant and all troubles, real and imaginary, relieved by laughter.

reviewed The Imaginary Invalid on May 18, 2020 The 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.
