The Hypochondriac, Paperback / softback Book

The Hypochondriac Paperback / softback

Part of the Oberon Modern Plays series

Paperback / softback

Description

"Moliere's classic farce pokes fun at Argan, a man so obsessed by his own imaginary ailments that he can no longer control his haphazard household or the mercenary medics he employs. With doctors determined to grow fat from the profits of his condition, Argan's closest relatives battle to show him the truth of his situation.

Using elaborate trickery, they strive to cure the real disease from which he suffers, managing to pile confusion upon hilarious confusion.

This version of The Hypochondriac premiered at the Almeida Theatre, London in 2005."
