The Imaginary Invalid
Moliere's 'The Imaginary Invalid' is an outrageous satire of medicine and its practitioners, sadly relevant even today. The wealthy Argan revels in poor health, relying on laxatives, suppositories, bloodlettins, and second and third opinions from the leading quacks. Although his daughter Angelique loves the impoverished Cleante, Argan wants to marry her to Thomas Diafoirus, a medical dunce who can assure his father-in-law a lifetime of free health care Aided by Argan's wily back-talking servant Toinette, the young lovers continue to meet despite the scheming of Beline, Argan's mercenary second wife. All is resolved (or is it?) when the clever Toinette and Argon's sage brother Beralde concoct a hilarious and elaborate plan to teach Argan where to place his trust.
