Books like Le Malade Imaginaire. English

Can't remember if I read this back in college, in a History of Theatre class or not, but I was surprised as I read this for a class now because I thought it'd be about an IMAGINARY Invalid (a la Harvey) or an Imaginary INVALID (a la people who fake a limp to get handicap parking). I much prefer the other translated title of Hypochondriac, as that's what it's really about...The plot feels very classical--confused identities, lying servants, etc. I can't imagine how the quick changes Toinette has to do could be done (but that's a director's headache to deal with). I honestly skipped both interludes, especially the final one which is in complete gibberish ("This piece is composed of a mixture of dog-Latin, French...and is utterly untranslatable.")Argan seems like he'd be a fun role to try (in a few decades) and I could see a local theatre (CKP) doing well with some of the farce here. But as a simple project of reading this play, I didn't enjoy it. It was really hard to follow due to the language (which is always harder to read than to watch, plus I'm probably out of practice).
