Too Many Doctors
Based on "The Imaginary Invalid" by Moliere Author(s):
Harriet Dexter
Moliere's classic spoof of doctors and hypochondriacs is brought alive again in this hilarious adaptation by Harriet Dexter. Foolish Argan, who collects illnesses and doctors, decides he needs a "live-in" physician. He finds a nit-wit who doesn't know one end of the stethoscope from the other... and promises him his daughter, Angelique. Cleante, Angelique's suitor, is thwarted again and again by the determined Argan. In the nick of time, Toinette, the clever servant, comes to the rescue. This modern adaptation, with contemporary dialogue, captures all of Moliere's wit and slapstick humor.
