Molière’s

The Hypochondriac

Translated by Sir Ranjit Bolt

There is more than one way to afford health care. Argan is convinced his undiagnosable illness is fatal and that he must spend his wealth on celebrated doctors to survive. Anxious over medical bills and a profligate second wife, he schemes to marry his beautiful daughter to a doctor to ensure free health care. Can his daughter’s loveless marriage give Argan the insurance he needs against illness, or will he survive sickness without his tridaily enemas and realize that the true ills threatening his life, happiness and survival are not medicinal? Sir Ranjit Bolt (The Venetian Twins) writes a lacerating and witty new translation of Molière’s final comedy.
