Items related to The Hypochondriac (Drama Classics)
First produced in 1673 and Moliere's final play, The Hypochondriac is a scathingly funny lampoon on both hypochondria and the 'quack' medical profession. Argan is a perfectly healthy, wealthy gentleman, convinced that he is seriously ill. So obsessed is he with medicinal tinkerings and tonics that he is blind to the goings on in his own household. However, his most efficacious cure will not appear in a bottle or a bedpan, but in his sharp-tongued servant, who has a cunning plan to reveal the truth and open her master's eyes. Adapted by Roger McGough for the stage in 2009.

About the Author:
Moliere (1622-73) is known as the greatest French writer of comedy. His plays include "The Misanthrope," "Tartuffe," and "The School for Wives." Roger McGough is an award-winning poet and playwright and is considered one of the 'Liverpool Poets'.
Review:
"McGough's...skills happily serve his second Moliere adaptation."--"Sunday Times" (of London) "It's a tonic, guaranteed to lift your spirits and keep them high, buoyed up by the wit and dexterity of McGough's verse...A ticklish tour de farce."--"Sunday Daily Mail" "McGough has added his own medicinal properties...upping the laughter quotient in an elixir that's easy to swallow."--"The Independent"""
