Don Juan in Hell

Written in 1901 and set in George Bernard Shaw’s idea of Hell (a virtual paradise), Don Juan in Hell features a most unusual Devil who engages the unregenerate Don Juan in a brilliant debate over which power governs the Earth: Life or Death. Joining them in the argument are Dona Ana, a recently deceased former flame of the Don’s who’s fiercely proud of her beauty and position, and her father the Commander, slain by Don Juan years ago and a recent escapee from dullness of Heaven. This oddly matched quartet pursues a deadly accurate–and very funny–war of wits that addresses life and death, war and peace, love and marriage, and the meaning of it alll. Alec Tok directs.
