We're casting Molière's riotous comedy, directed by David Blackmore!
Argan is a wealthy hypochondriac whose obsession with his health puts him in the power of quack doctors and his scheming second wife. When he tries to marry his daughter Angelique to a newly-qualified doctor (to ensure instant medical care for life!), she rebels, and the household erupts in a delightful chaos of disguises, deceptions, and dazzling wit.

- ARGAN (m, 45-70) — a rich merchant who imagines himself ill
- BELINE (f, 30-50) — Argan's second wife
- ANGELIQUE (f, 20-35) — Argan's eldest daughter, in love with Cleante
- LOUISON (f, 15-25) — Argan's younger daughter
