This production of Moliere’s Don Juan transports the exploits of its hero to 1950s Italy. Don Juan is a man whose charm, money, brains, and devastating good looks make him irresistible to any woman he meets. He denies God and laughs at society, and like the Devil, has all the best tunes. But Don Juan’s deeds are catching up with him. He’s abandoned his first wife Elvira, who insists on seeing him at his palace. He’s also murdered her father, who now accepts an invitation to dinner. Can Don Juan’s faithful servant Siganarelle save him, or do the gates of hell await?
