A fresh and hilarious new adaptation of Moliere’s classic comedy, The Imaginary Invalid.
Between the end of the Mexican-American War and the start of the Gold Rush craze, a sort of madness spread across Alta California. Nobody has it worse than the hypochondriac Don Aragon. When the medical bills start to pile up, he arranges to marry his daughter off to (a bumbling) young doctor. Of course, his daughter has her sights set on someone else. And, by the way, so does Don Aragon’s wife. Thank goodness for Tonia—played by Herbert Siguenza—Don Aragon’s loud mouth native India servant who hears all, sees all, and fixes all (with much laughter and clowning).
In this outrageous satirical mixture of medicine and history, Siguenza’s prescription includes romantic triangles, double entendres and mistaken identities, promising to leave you gasping, giggling and possibly even in stitches.
