A shot of laughter

The Imaginary Invalid Actor Tom Middleditch, centre, wrings his hands in gleeful anticipation of the large needle being prepared for him. Middleditch plays Argan, the title character in the current Phoenix Theatres production of The Imaginary Invalid, Moliere’s satirical comedy about a hypochondriac who delights in his imagined illnesses. Also pictured are actors Jeff Stubbs (Dr. Diafores) and Katie Siney (Toinette). The play runs until Oct. 26. For tickets and reservations, call 721-8000.
