The Hypochondriac

The Hypochondriac, in a new hilarious version by Richard Bean (One Man, Two Guvnors), Moliere's classic farce pokes fun at Argan, a man so obsessed by his own imaginary ailments that he can no longer control his haphazard household or the mercenary medics he employs. With doctors determined to grow fat from the profits of his condition, Aragan's closest relatives battle to show him the truth of the situation. Using elaborate trickery, they strive to cure the real disease from which he suffers, managing to pile confusion on comic confusion.
