Moliere's 'Imaginary Invalid' finishes 82-85 Northwest drama productions After only a few days of rehearsal and countless hours of memorizing lines, the Northwest Drama Department presented Moliere's Imrzgimzry Imfalid on April 21 and 22. The 17th century comedy presented the acting debut for six of the 12 cast members and finalized the drama produc- tions for the 1982-83 season. The play took place in the Paris home of Monsieur Argan in 1674. In the open- ing scene, Monsieur Argan is paying bills and is unable to understand why last month's bills were higher for his illnesses, and this months bills are less, and yet, he does not feel any better. Argan is faced with more problems when Cleante, desguised as a music teacher, comes to his home to teach Angelique, Argan's daughter, music. To hide his real identity, Cleante gives Angelique a piece of paper without words or music printed on it, however they both improvise in song about shepherds and shepherdesses to keep up the front in Argan's presence. Although they sing of a shepherd and shepherdess who love each other, they are really singing of themselves. More problems await Argan when he discovers that his wife, Beline, only loves him for his money. This discovery is made when a lawyer is asked to draw up a deed of gift that the wife will receive upon Argan's death. However Argan is more concerned about seeing his daughter mar- ried off to a doctor so that the son-in-law will be able to take care of Argan's chronic illnesses for free. Audiences found themselves in much laughter as they saw the comedy develop and problems resolved in this French play. Cast Members Monsieur Argan ............ Ron Schott Toinette ......... .......
