Sarcastic, witty humor took the stage at Cyrano's with the opening of "The Imaginary Invalid" by Moliere in a sold-out show. The play delivered laughs from the start as Monsieur Argan (Mark Robokoff) reviewed a stack of bills for prescriptions from his apothecary. Toinette, the maid (Tamar Bolkvadze) tells the audience (in case they haven't figured it out) that Argan is a hypochondriac by saying, "If it wasn't for him [the apothecary] you wouldn't know you were ill."Through a gold painting frame that bordered the set, the audience watched the story unfold in the home of the Argan family in 17th-century Paris. There is also a gold frame on set that features an array of subjects throughout the play. According to Elizabeth Ware, the production's director, the frames are intended to remind us that we are watching an artist's rendition of life. Ware also suggests we might relate to the characters in the "painting" by seeing how we are often posing in social situations.Argan insists that his eldest daughter Angelique (Erika Johnson) marry a doctor or else he will place her in a convent without a penny of her inheritance. Speaking of inheritance, enter Beline (Janet Stoneburner), Argan's second wife. She just happens to have her lawyer with her, prepared to draw up a deed of gift since French law prevents Argan from disinheriting Angelique.Cleante (Erick Hayden) is in love with Angelique and invades the Argan home pretending to be her assistant music teacher. Cleante and Angelique's love is not known to Argan as he gives Angelique "the opportunity to be unselfish" by introducing her to the his doctor's son, Dr. Thomas Diaforus (Keven Green) who appears wearing coke-bottle "Harry Potter" glasses and flailing his arms about as he speaks in a nasally voice. The audience laughs, but neither Angelique or Toinette are impressed with Argan's choice of a fiance for his daughter.Argan's brother, Monsieur Beralde (Paul Schweigert), plays on his brother's penchant for faux illnesses while Toinette schemes to stop the marriage. The final scenes of the play reveal to Argan his family's true colors and show him how he can help himself instead of using his daughters to get the medical expertise he desires. Period harpsichord music by Dick Reichman was light and melodic and did not distract from the dialogue on stage. However the music did overpower Stoneburner, who was hard to hear when singing.Anne Freitag's costume design delivered some rich historical dresses for the women of the Argan family and a hilarious mad scientist look for Keven Green as the apothecary.Bolkvadze stole the show delivering much laughter as the maid with a razor tongue. Bolkvadze and Robokoff's Argan fed off each other to set the tone for this comedy. Stoneburner's Beline was on the mark portraying a heartless gold-digger. Johnson and Hayden had enough chemistry to be convincingly in love. Paul Schweigert and Keven Green kept the audience engaged as the silly medical quacks and managed to do so with straight faces.
