The Physician In Spite of Himself … is written in a most unbounded spirit of mirth, the matrimonial breezes wafting a certain amount of refreshing coolness throughout it all. The way in which Sganarelle is dubbed, or rather drubbed a doctor, is highly amusing; and the cure of the dumb girl, and the use which she makes of her recovered speech, contains a philosophical lesson which may be sometimes applied to the way in which nouveaux riches spread their newly acquired wealth. The learned and anatomical disquisitions between Sganarelle and Geronte are also very entertaining, as well as the growth of greed in the rustic physician. - Summary by The TranslatorCast list:Geronte, father to Lucinda: ToddHWLeandre, Lucinda's lover: aravagarwalSganarelle, husband to Martine: Jason in PanamaMonsieur Robert, Sganarelle's neighbor: Roger MelinLucas, husband to Jacqueline: Tomas PeterValere, Geronte's servant: alanmapstoneThibaut, peasant: Son of the ExilesPerrin, his son: Owen CookLucinda, Geronte's daughter: Leanne YauMartine, Sganarelle's wife: Devorah AllenJacqueline, nurse at Geronte's, and Lucas' wife: SoniaStage Directions: Sandra SchmitEditor: ToddHW
