Description
“Wacky . . . unassuming silliness . . . awash in slapstick aplomb” - LA Times

Moliere (1666) takes decisive aim at the medical establishment, which he particularly despised. In 2009, the medical establishment is again at the center of a national discussion, but now in America, we cogitate over how health care is administered, by whom, and for how much. While attacking issues of substance, the cast of “The Doctor Despite Himself” offers the audience the best medicine of all: a hearty dose of laughter.

New English language translation by Clara Bellar, a prominent French film star. Directed by Award Winning Gulu Monteiro, Artistic Director of Ipanema Theater Troupe and professor at UCLA. Costume designer: Swinda Reichelt . Lighting design: Joel Shapiro.
