Brighton Little Theatre’s next production will be Don Juan in Soho by Patrick Marber (the writer of Closer and Notes on a Scandal and the screenplay of Fifty Shades of Grey) after Moliere.
The play originally opened at the Donmar Warehouse in 2006 and was directed by Michael Grandage and starred Rhys Ifans in the title role of Don Juan.
The play is wickedly funny and at times touchingly emotional. Marber’s updating of Molière’s Don Juan moves the action to today’s London where this modern-day wastrel is let loose among the fleshpots of Soho leaving a trail of physical and emotional wreckage, barely noticing the lives he touches. Don Juan is an utter cad and an aristocrat who will bed anything female and attractive without a thought for the consequences.
No less of a bawdy romp than the original, the play contains strong language and scenes of an adult nature. In the original, Don Juan is condemned to a literal hell. In this modern version, Marber condemns him to a hell of his own making.
The show runs from Tuesday, June 24 until Saturday, June 28 at 7.45pm each night.
