TfT to Close 47th Season with LE MALADE IMAGINAIRE, 5/6-24

Théâtre français de Toronto will end its 47th season with Molière's Le Malade imaginaire (The Imaginary Invalid). Often referred to as the famed playwright's last and funniest play, TfT's madcap production of this comic classic will be presented at the Berkeley Street Theatre May 6 to 24.

An arranged marriage, thwarted love, a greedy stepmother and a bourgeois abused by impostors... such are the ingredients that spur this hilarious satirical comedy.

The wealthy Argan is a housebound, eccentric hypochondriac who fears he'scontracted every disease imaginable - always ready to try the newest and most expensive concoctions available to him, prescribed with pleasure, of course, by his physicians and apothecaries. Unfortunately, he is plagued by a pack of incompetent doctors, a gold-digging wife, an insolent maid and a rebelliousyoung daughter who refuses to marry a doctor so he can bankroll his medicalbills...

Directed by non-other than Guy Mignault, and infused with original music composed by Claude Naubert, this new production will remind us that not much has changed in the last 340 years and dream merchants selling everlasting youth and health were just as present then asthey are now.

Directed by Guy Mignault. With Julie Kim Beaudry, Sébastien Bertrand, Krystel Descary, Bianca Heuvelmans, Djennie Laguerre, Guy Mignault, Christopher Webb and Nicolas Van Bureck in the role of Argan.

Music: Claude Naubert; Sound Design & Stage Management: Gabriel Dubé; Set Design: Glen Charles Landry; Costumes: Melanie McNeill.
