A drunken peasant is mistaken for a brilliant doctor, and exploits the situation to the full, molesting women and making a tidy profit into the bargain. Until he is found out, that is…

Follow the exploits of Sganarelle (the “doctor”) as he cuts his way through high society, performing “examinations” and prescribing his own special medicine. Written and first performed nearly 350 years ago, The Reluctant Doctor is a classic farce by the great French comic dramatist Molière which neatly demonstrates that humour hasn’t changed that much over the intervening centuries.
