Notes: | Subtitled "an evening of bad taste, featuring Warped Desires and Milton Eckendorf, Jr, Infant Detective" | |||||
Synopsis: | Exactly what it sounds like it is (except much more so). 150 characters played by two men, three women, and a piano player. The Long Wharf Theater recently turned it down, writing, "I think most of our audience would faint from some of these scenes." Sounds fine to me! (I was flabbergasted to discover recently that there's a teenage fan club for this play!) | |||||

| ||||||
Genre: | Adaptation | |||||
| Parts: | Male | 16 | Female | 4 | ||
Parts other: | doubling possible | |||||
Notes: | Original Playwright - Moliere | |||||
Synopsis: | Famous in drama, opera, poetry and story, the immortal rake, Don Juan, is here treated by Molière as a means to ridicule human follies, pretensions and hypocrisies while, albeit delightfully, pointing up a timeless moral. The action of the play moves with swiftness and style as Don Juan pursues his amorous prey, bemusing his world-weary servant, Sganarelle, and deftly turning aside the wrath of his enemies. Contemptuous and arrogant, Don Juan is also a figure of enormous verve and magnetism, and while the error of his ways makes his demise inevitable, the calm dignity with which he accepts his spectacular fate only adds to his richness and dimensions as a legendary character. | |||||
