The Imaginary Invalid
Roundabout Theatre Company takes charge of Molière's classic 17th-century farce about a serial hypochondriac at the mercy of opportunistic quacks. Bill Irwin, arguably America's greatest clown, plays the title role—which, ironically enough, Molière himself played when he was actually fatally ill—in his own adaptation of the text. The celebrated actor Brandon J. Dirden (Waiting for Godot) makes his Broadway directorial debut at the helm of a production that also stars Brooks Ashmanskas, Dylan Baker, Hiram Delgado, Daniel Croix Henderson, Ava Lalezarzadeh and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend's Rachel Bloom.
