Description
Molière's classic play Don Juan features the "Seducer of Seville," a hero-villain of Spanish folk legend who has made more than a thousand sexual conquests. One of Molière's best-known plays, Don Juan was written while Tartuffe was still banned on the stages of Paris, and shared much with the outlawed play. Modern directors have transformed Don Juan in every new era, as each director finds something new to highlight in this timeless classic. Witty, urbane, and poetic in its prose, Don Juan remains as funny now as it was for audiences when it was first presented.
Molière's classic tale of the Seducer of Seville, an uproariously funny story.
