All the world's a fart joke in Constance Congdon's hilarious new take on Molière's skewering of a health care crisis from an entirely different century. To quell his growing pile of medical bills, Monsieur Argan, a chronic hypochondriac with certain "digestive challenges," will go to any length to marry his daughter off to a doctor. Of course, his daughter has other ideas. A narcotic cocktail of romantic triangles, double entendres and mistaken identities ensues, promising to leave you gasping, giggling and possibly... in stitches. A hit comedy for over 300 years, The Imaginary Invalid acquires a new luster in this fresh adaptation.

Come one, come all!
