France's master comic playwright has a field day with the subjects of hypochondria and our blind obedience to doctors. Molière’s witty attack on the medical profession has more than a little resonance today. Translated by John Wood, adapted by Beth Milles.

Recorded before a live audience at the Doubletree Guest Suites, Santa Monica in December 1997.
