A spokesperson says---
"...Don Juan is one of Molière’s ... masterpieces. A ... 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.
In MIP's staging, three actors transform before our eyes into more than 10 characters, while Don Juan and his faithful sidekick Sganarelle remain the only fixed figures in a world that constantly shifts around them. The result is a fast-paced theatrical spectacle where identities blur, loyalties shift, and the unexpected lurks at every corner.
SYNOPSIS: 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 honestly repent? Or will he just pretend to, like so many around him, and continue down the same path to the bitter end?..."
