Drama Classics: The World's Great Plays at a Great Little Price

Molière's classic farce, Le Malade Imaginaire, in a fresh and performable translation.

His scheming wife and loving daughter are finally revealed to him in their true light by Argan's brother, who poses as a quack doctor and suggests he feigns death to test their loyalty.
