Other information

The Imaginary Invalid is the last play that legendary French playwright Molière wrote, and was originally conceived as a Comedy-Ballet where theater, dance, and music are intertwined. Gravely ill while writing and performing this play, Molière explores the fear of disease and the exploitation it breeds through his infinitely humorous dialogue and in-your-face satire. This staged reading will once again star Tony and Olivier award nominee Sahr Ngaujah (Fela!, Moulin Rouge! The Musical) in the role of ARGAN, and feature original choreography by FlexN dancer Cal Hunt and an original score by cellist Johnathan Moore.

Translated, adapted and directed by Lucie Tiberghien
