Don Juan in Soho

Play

Overview

Synopsis

Patrick Marber updates Moliere’s 1665 play to modern day Soho and this Don Juan pulls no punches! Now named DJ, this heartless libertine skips from one sexual conquest to the next with no thought for his new wife, waiting for him at home. This is his egotistical lifestyle and he has no intentions of giving it up for anything or anyone. Meanwhile, his potato-faced sidekick Stan, faithfully records his master’s conquests on a database and drifts between envy and frustration. Witty, shocking, and fast-paced, Marber’s powerful updating of Don Juan still asks the eternal question: How is such an amoral and unrepentant philanderer to be judged in contemporary society? Or should we even try?

Editor’s Note: This play contains very strong language and sexual content
