Patrick Marber’s new version of Molière’s 17th century classic is set in 21st century London. This World Premiere was directed by Michael Grandage.
Molière’s farcical, tragic, anarchic original of 1665 is relocated to modern day Soho: swank, new hotels and festering, old clip joints, crackheads in alleys and cokeheads in clubs. The destitute, the delirious, the broken and the brazen. The hustlers and hoorays, the media movers and merciless whores - all packed in to one seething square mile.
Don Juan - the infamous amoral hedonist in a society entranced by sensation.
