Don Juan, the "Seducer of Seville," originated as ahero-villain of Spanish folk legend, is a famous lover andscoundrel who has made more than a thousand sexual conquests. Oneof Molire's best-known plays, Don Juan was written while Tartuffewas still banned on the stages of Paris, and shared much with theoutlawed play. Modern directors transform Don Juan in every newera, as each director finds something new to highlight in thistimeless classic.
