The Imaginary Invalid

By Jeffrey Hatcher

Monsieur Argan is a notorious hypochondriac whose nonexistent illnesses blind him to the con men and women (his new wife) who prey on his fears to fatten their purses. His plan: marry his daughter to a doctor so he'll have free round-the-clock on-site healthcare for the rest of his life. Newly translated by Mirabelle Ordinaire and adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher, The Imaginary Invalid is a brilliant satire of the doctors, lawyers and would-be patients who take self-care to staggering levels of pathology. A comic whirlwind of pills, lovers, therapies, disguises, vaccinations, impersonations, masks, mindfulness and miracle cures.
