The Imaginary Invalid

July 6- August 24

What’s a wealthy hypochondriac with family strife to do? Live music, 1960's French pop culture, and boundless laughter! More »
Freely adapted from Molière by Oded Gross and Tracy Young
Originally produced by the Oregon Shakespeare Festival

Tracy Young, director of last year’s smash-hit The Taming of the Shrew, grabs the helm of this freely adapted and hysterical comedy. Is there a doctor in the house? The wealthy Argan is a housebound hypochondriac with every disease imaginable. Literally. Lurking quacks are only too happy to (mis)treat him. Family troubles, a money-grubbing wife and headstrong daughters, add to Argan’s miseries. Molière’s comedy gets an injection of 1960’s pop culture. Original songs and satirical bite.

Age recommendation: All ages who can handle potty humor, yucky medical remedies, and instances of innuendo.

In Shakespeare’s most beautiful and romantic fairytale, thieves, clowns, shepherds (and one hungry bear) celebrate the comedy of life and the changing of the seasons.
