Jean Baptiste Moliere's classic satire of the medical profession will have audiences in stiches when an eccentric, wealthy man crippled by severe hypochondria tries to marry his daughter off to a physician just to always have a doctor around.
Come and laugh at this famous French farce (performed in modern day English) as our hypochondriac spends all of his money on his imaginary ailments, see romantic twists evolve with a cast of characters comparable to that of a dysfunctional family interact.
