Don Juan, or The Feast with the Statue
Molière
Don Juan "contains, perhaps, more severe attacks upon hypocrisy than does even Tartuffe. It depicts the hero as a man who, rich, noble, powerful, and bold, respects neither heaven nor earth, and knows no bounds to the gratification of his desires or his passions. He has excellent manners, but abominable principles; he is a whited sepulcher, and abuses the privileges of nobility without acknowledging its obligations or its duties. Moliere sketches no longer the nobleman as ridiculous, but makes him terrible." - Summary by The Translator Cast list: Don Juan, son to Don Louis: Kurt Don Carlos, brother to Donna Elvira: Alan Mapstone Don Alonzo, brother to Donna Elvira: Adam Bielka Don Louis, father to Don Juan: Ron Altman The Statue of The Commander: ToddHW Guzman, gentleman-usher to Donna Elvira: Larry Wilson Monsieur Dimanche, a tradesman: Tomas Peter Sganarelle, servant to Don Juan: Adrian Stephens La Violette, servant to Don Juan: Availle Ragotin, servant to Don Juan: Alan Mapstone Pierrot, a countryman: Tomas Peter La Ramee, a swashbuckler: ToddHW A Ghost: Sandra Schmit Donna Elvira, wife to Don Juan: Matea Bracic Charlotte, country-woman: Jenn Broda Mathurine, country-woman: Sonia A poor man: Jim Locke Stage Directions: Emmi Kranz Editing: ToddHW (2 hr 5 min)
