DON JUAN?IN?LOVE
from the play by Jose Zorrilla
The handsome Don Juan is a devil with the ladies and a demon with a blade. Join history's greatest lover as he charms and murders his way through swash-buckling adventure and heart-stopping drama. But as the sun sets over the beautiful Scoop amphitheatre vengeful ghosts gather to teach him there are consequences to a life of breaking hearts and destroying families. In this London premiere of the beautiful 1839 dramatisation, by celebrated Spanish romantic José Zorrilla, it's a brave young woman who proves to be the Don's downfall and his chance of salvation.
Let the seductions of Don Juan open your mind this summer.
Performance dates & times: Thursdays - Sundays at 8.00pm
Running time 1hr 30 approx
Signed performance - Thursday 2 September, 8.00pm
There will be post-show discussions about both shows with members of the cast and creative team on Sunday 8, 15, 22 & 29 August after the performance of Don Juan in Love.
