Le médecin malgré lui

About the show

Martine, mistreated by her husband Sganarelle, tells two servants that he is a doctor who must be beaten before he will practice. Forced into the role, Sganarelle is taken to treat Lucinde, who is pretending to be mute to avoid an unwanted marriage; he helps her and her lover Léandre arrange an elopement, and Léandre's new inheritance appeases her father Géronte.
