Don Juan

By Molière
Translated and directed by Neil Bartlett

‘He’s a beast I tell you - a real animal...’

What happens when you’ve lived only for pleasure, and you finally run out of time? When you’ve broken every promise, outraged every decency and slept your way through half of Europe - where do you turn as the clock starts to tick towards midnight?

After ten years as Artistic Director of the Lyric Hammersmith, Neil Bartlett bows out in style with a provocative new staging of a real classic. His new
translation brings out all the dark undercurrents of Molière’s wickedly black comedy; James Wilby (Gosford Park, Howard’s End, Maurice) plays Don Juan.

Suitable for ages 14+
Running time: approximately 2 hours 5 mins
