Congdon's new version of The Imaginary Invalid is a prickly adaptation that performs some clever surgery on Molière's original -- a little nip here, a little tuck there. The result is a gassy comedy that will leave you with doubts about your own health care regimen.Molière's irreverent satire on the world of medicine - the questionable cures and costs - is a whirl of romantic triangles, double entendres and mistaken identities. Constance Congdon gives this Molière classic a double dose of devilishness sure to cure whatever ails you with a laugh.
