Takes place in the Black Box Theatre
Written in 1666 by Molière, France’s greatest comedic writer, The Doctor in Spite of Himself follows the antics of Sganarelle, a ne’er-do-well woodcutter, who winds up impersonating a doctor. He dupes the pretentious wealthy Geronte while simultaneously reuniting his daughter with her forbidden lover. This slapstick farce satires bourgeois pretentiousness and the medical profession.
