April 25th – May 12th, Hoxton Hall
Theatre Lab Company bring Molière’s Don Juan, directed by Anastasia Revi to Hoxton Hall. This follows their acclaimed Salome at Hoxton Hall in February 2017, and recent acclaimed production of Daphne du Maurier’s Jamaica Inn at the Tabard Theatre
There is nothing so sweet as to overcome the resistance of a beautiful woman; and, where they are concerned, I have the ambition of a conqueror…
Charming… egocentric… atheist… philanderer… recently wed, Don Juan is about to commit adultery against his new wife. Accompanied by his servant, Sganarelle, he sets out in pursuit of his next amorous conquest. Sganarelle challenges his master’s libertine views as the pair engages in a hilarious philosophical debate to defend their equally self-serving moralities. Don Juan is remorseless, unrepentant and has a voracious libido. Sganarelle is clever, pious but ambitious. Set against the backdrop of the Venice Carnival, DON JUAN is a black comedy that follows the last day of the legendary playboy’s life
“Anastasia Revi’s direction grips the attention from beginning to end through the ingenious use of props, movement, sound and character detail” Stage Review on Jamaica Inn
Anastasia Revi won the 2016 Theatre Award for Best Director of the Year for Shakespeare’s Macbeth at the National Theatre of Northern Greece, and the Women’s Award for Theatre in Athens. She was nominated for Greece’s Woman of the Year Award (2017) in the Director’s Category and a finalist in the Greek International Women Awards (GIWA, British Museum, London, 2017) in the Arts & Design category
