The Imaginary Invalid

Red Bull Theater, which pumps new blood into the classics, takes charge of Molière's classic 17th-century farce about a serial hypochondriac at the mercy of opportunistic quacks. Mark Linn-Baker (Perfect Strangers) plays the title role—which, ironically enough, Molière himself played when he was actually fatally ill—joined by Sarah Stiles, Arnie Burton, Manoel Felciano, Emily Swallow, Russell Daniels, Emilie Kouatchou and John Yi. Red Bull honcho Jesse Berger directs the world premiere of Jeffrey Hatcher's adaptation (from a new translation by Mirabelle Ordinaire).
