The Hypochondriac

"Richard Bean, the adaptor of One Man, Two Guvnors, turns Moliere's medicinal masterpiece into a riotous farce in this brand new production starring Tony Robinson for the 2014 run.

The penny pinching Argan is healthy, wealthy and completely obsessed by a list of imaginary ailments he believes himself to be suffering from. Confusion is piled upon hilarious confusion as a gang of eccentric quacks and Argan's treacherous wife endeavour to fleece him of his fortune, whilst his lovesick daughter, her dashing

lover and an astute maid attempt to set him straight.

Tony Robinson is one of the UK's best loved actors. He is best known for playing Baldrick in Blackadder and for hosting Channel 4's Time Team and The Worst Jobs in History. He was knighted in 2013. Lindsay Posner is one of the UK's greatest directors of comedy. His recent successes include Noises Off, Abigail's Party and Relatively Speaking."
