THE IMAGINARY INVALID Comes To The Cell Theatre 7/23-26, 7/30-8/2
Deadline Productions presents THE IMAGINARY INVALID by Molière, and directed by Matthew A.J. Gregory. Produced by Greg Tito and Matthew A.J. Gregory and adapted by Matthew A.J. Gregory, Shira Gregory, Chris Harcum and Greg Tito
Abounding with hilarious characters and Molière's incomparable wit, Deadline Productions presents a contemporary re-imagining of Molière's last play, THE IMAGINARY INVALID. This production satirizes today's pill-popping culture and drug-driven health care system.
The Invalid takes place in a swank Manhattan loft apartment, awash with art that's now overgrown with tubes, enema bulbs and medical paraphernalia. The story revolves around Argan, a wealthy and eccentric hypochondriac, who is plagued by a gold-digging wife, an insolent maid, a rebellious young daughter and an infestation of drug-peddling, incompetent doctors. The original musical interludes in the play are now replaced by faux TV adverts which promote questionable drug treatments and their unpleasant side effects.
