Classical plays are extremely difficult to stage, especially because they have already been performed several times to the point that they seem to have nothing new for the audience to explore directors. However, each new staging of any of Molière's works reveals a new depth in the author's genius and gives the director enough space for imagination. Although Stephens' staging of The imaginary invalid had some problems in terms of lighting and a somewhat careless work with sound, with the help of an extraordinary cast of actors and the extraordinary choice of setting and of the lights, Stephens managed to reinvent the traditional vision of the famous play. It seems that there is almost no reason to retell the layman: the plot of The Imaginary Invalid seems to have become one of the stories that are part of the traditional baggage of knowledge that every educated person must have. Anyway, an old Argan, obsessed with his health and constantly convinced that he is ill, tells his doctor, Doctor Purgon, that the treatment process needs to be improved. Arhon's wife, Belina, considers her husband's mania a whim, while his daughter Angelique keeps quiet about her possible doubts. She is in love with Cleante, which makes her feel quite distracted and makes it difficult for her to leave the dream realm and return to the world of reality. Toinette, the maid, seems to be the only one struggling with Argan's ridiculous fears of disease. Meanwhile, Argan informs his daughter that he wants her to marry Thomas Diaforious. Cleante is hired as a piano teacher by Argan; as a result, Cleant and Angelique confess their love for each other during the duet. Once their secret is revealed, Argan is furious. Bertald, Argan's brother, tries to change the fo...... middle of paper ......the key concepts and the original message of The Imaginary Invalid were already worn out by the time the interpretation came out in analysis, the director and crew managed to reinvent the entire play with the help of a number of unique stylistic choices and truly impressive acting. While it would be wrong to deny that the show had its problems, especially in terms of lighting and sound, the result is obviously impressive, which is a credit to the actors. Each of the cast members managed to capture the essence of their character and show their development in a rather subtle and unique way. Works Cited Keller, G. D. (1977).
