The Imaginary Invalid

Moreau Center for the Arts - Saint Mary's College

April 15-April 18, 2010

Add Review/Comment

The spring theatre production will feature a translation of the 1673 Molliere classic, The Imaginary Invalid. The new translation, by Nagle Jackson, depicts a wealthy hypochondriac under the care of numerous physicians in the business of keeping their patients ill. When the “invalid” tries to bring a physician into family through marriage, the family rebels and launches a counter scheme. Originally presented for French King Louis XIV, The Imaginary Invalid was Molliere’s final work and was a satire on medical professionals who practice their art without ethics. Molliere, who starred in the production, fell ill during the performance and died shortly after the performance. Nagle Jackson has translated and written numerous plays and has served as the artistic director at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater and the McCarter Theater in Princeton.

    REMARKABLE performance of Polly Teale's script. The cast was outstanding, and remarkably fluid in their set changes and onstage movements. If Saint Mary's brings The Acting Company back in the future, you owe it to yourself to see them perform: This is the quality of theater that one would expect to see at Steppenwolf or the Goodman--without the Chicago traffic and prices. Kudos to Richard Baxter for an excellent booking decision! Collapse

    Magbana's incredible choreography and artistry produced by director Michael Markus, features the dazzling drum hands of M'Bemba Bangoura from Guinea West Africa. The ten member troupe performs traditional and original arrangements of West African pieces using djembes, djun-djuns, and krin. Each time I have seen them perform I have left with my heart in my throat. You will want to jump up and dance and will feel the joy of these ancient rhythms and ethnic instruments heal your spirit. Come to see this amazing show and chase away any winter doldrums! Collapse
