About the play

As a hypochondriac, Argan lives in constant fear of illness and infirmity. He is the "imaginary sick man" and is convinced that he can only survive through constant medical treatment and medication. What could be more obvious than marrying off one's own daughter to a doctor? However, Angélique does not want to go along with her father's marriage plans because she loves another man. Fortunately, the faithful maid Toinette has a plan...

"The Imaginary Sick" is a humorous satire on medical practice in the 17th century and the ridiculous excesses of hypochondria. It is one of the most famous plays by Molière (1622-1673). The important French actor, director and playwright, whose real name was Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, was a master of comedy and created timeless plays that are characterized by their satirical acuity and a sharp view of human nature.
