Molière in the Park, Brooklyn's Free Theater, invites you to experience legendary playwright Molière’s most subversive play.

Don Juan has abandoned Elvira, whom he seduced into breaking her vows and marrying him. Over the course of a single adventure-filled day, he and his loyal sidekick, Sganarelle, encounter many of the people Don Juan has betrayed.

As he seduces women, defies social conventions, mocks religion, and revels in provocation, his appetite for transgression seems impossible to satisfy. Yet the signs are unmistakable: the walls are closing in.

Will he truly repent? Or will he just pretend to, like so many around him, and continue down the same path to the bitter end?

Translated by Stephen Wadsworth and directed by Drama Desk nominee Lucie Tiberghien, DON JUAN is one of Molière’s most thrilling and provocative masterpieces. A feverish descent from seduction to reckoning, the play blends comedy, tragedy, and the supernatural, pushing Molière’s exploration of hypocrisy and morality further than any of his other works.

In MIP's staging, three actors (Naomi Lorrain, Daniel Pearce, Michelle Veintimilla) transform before our eyes into more than ten characters, while Don Juan (Keshav Moodliar) and his faithful sidekick Sganarelle (Kaliswa Brewster) remain the only fixed figures in a world that constantly shifts around them. The result is a fast-paced theatrical spectacle where identities blur, loyalties shift, and the unexpected lurks at every corner.

The production will once again feature live original cello music by Drama Desk nominated composer Johnathan Moore.
