Moliere’s Imaginary Invalid , a musical, farce and a comedy all at the same time. A play like nothing I've seen before. I myself realized that I enjoy musicals, and this was no exception. This play keeps the audience attention, while at least my attention. The setting takes place in Paris during the seventeenth century. The play was originally written in French, and Dan Smith worked to translate it into English. There are nine characters in the Imaginary Invalid but I would say that their are…
ideal for men with uncommon waist sizes or those who simply want a custom-made piece. A properly-sized belt will have enough material to sit under your first belt loop, but not so much that the excess is left flopping around.
