The Imaginary Invalid was a very good play that had many different aspects that I could write about. But I was sentenced to design so that’s what I will do. The design aspects were not the best but not the worst. It worked in the sense of they covered the entire basis from the stage design to the way the actors looked. The crew did a really good job with the stage and making it look like a real house. They had a table with a couple of big chairs laid out in the room. They presented the stage like it was a family room with a wall torn down. They even put a bathroom in the middle of the room. This really added to the house feel.
The outfits worn by all the actors definitely fit the characters. The old man looked like an old man relaxed at home. The doctors all looked very efficient in robes or in the suites with face masks to top it off. The wife looked like a cheating hussy in the tight little outfit that really presented the character for what she really was. The maid had the best costume. The getup really matched her personality with being kind of spunky and had a little zest to it. The daughter was dressed like a sweet little innocent girl and then acted like a sweet little innocent girl. Then her future husband matched his character by acting and dressing like a sheltered preppy boy that never really did any bad in his life.
Over all I would say yes the characters fit the design as well as the set matching the script. Everything seemed to flow together really nicely from the acting to the set design. I would recommend this to friend if it was still around.
