Molière: Der eingebildete Kranke

In the organizer's words:

The hypochondriac Argan, the best customer of doctors and pharmacists, plans to marry off his daughter Angelique to the naïve young doctor Thomas Diaforius out of pure self-interest. But Angelique is hopelessly in love with Cléanthe. Meanwhile, Argan's wife is secretly trying to rob him of his fortune. Toinette, the family's cunning housemaid, sees through the deception and cleverly thwarts the unwanted marriage.

The characters play a humorous game with death, in which it is both feared and hoped for, and both played with and threatened.
