Don Juan in Soho: After Molière
by Patrick Marber
3.5 stars
I generally like this version of Don Juan, and I particularly like the treatment of the first two acts. My only complaint is the treatment of the statue. I love that in act three the statue comes to life only after the characters have gotten high; this keeps the idea of fate and the fantastical level of the story alive while keeping it in the current day world of the play Marber has created. However, I'm not sure if it works as well when it returns. It ends up feeling like a left-over from the original and doesn't organically belong in this new play.
But as I said, it's a very nice adaptation.
