In this satire on the world of medicine, the wealthy yet housebound hypochondriac Argan has every disease in the book and will go to any length to marry his daughter off to a doctor. Of course, she has other ideas.

Lurking around every corner are quacks only too happy to (mis)treat Argan, as well as a money-grubbing wife and servants longing to carry on his miseries.

Moliere's The Imaginary Invalid is a narcotic cocktail of romantic triangles, double entendres and mistaken identities.
