About this event
Molière in the Park, Brooklyn's home for free world-class theater, invites you to experience legendary French playwright Molière’s most subversive play.Don Juan has abandoned Elvira, whom he seduced into breaking her vows and marrying him. Over the course of a single adventure-filled day, he and his loyal sidekick, Sganarelle, encounter many of the people Don Juan has betrayed. As he seduces women, defies social conventions, mocks religion, and revels in provocation, his appetite for transgression seems impossible to satisfy. Yet the signs are unmistakable: the walls are closing in.Will he truly repent? Or will he just pretend to, like so many around him, and continue down the same path to the bitter end?Translated by Stephen Wadsworth and directed by Drama Desk nominee Lucie Tiberghien, DON JUAN is one of Molière’s most thrilling and provocative masterpieces. A feverish descent from seduction to reckoning, the play blends comedy, tragedy, and the supernatural, pushing Molière’s exploration of hypocrisy and morality further than any of his other works.This free production will once again feature live original cello music by Drama Desk nominated composer Johnathan Moore.RSVPs are encouraged.
