Molière: Don Juan

Few plays have generated more controversy or had a more extraordinary performance history than Moli re's Don Juan. David Whitton's study examines various ways in which this enigmatic masterpiece has been interpreted in performance through the vision of different directors and in a variety of cultural and social contexts. In a series of critical studies, key productions are reconstructed using prompt books, production notes, photographs, contemporary reviews, and memoirs. Among the interpretations discussed are those of Meyerhold and Brecht, Ingmar Bergman, Jouvet, and Ch reau. The book is illustrated with numerous photographs and contains a geographical-chronological table of productions.
