Kneehigh Theatre in association with the Royal Shakespeare Company presents Don John at The Courtyard Theatre in Stratford on Avon.
A libertine, his lovers and a perilous dinner party; sex and promiscuity are all good fun until someone loses a parent. The legend of the world’s greatest lover meets the controlled madness of Kneehigh Theatre.
Kneehigh are a driving force in contemporary British theatre. Their joyous, compelling and physical storytelling has entranced audiences throughout the UK with productions including Tristan & Yseult, Nights at the Circus, Rapunzel and Brief Encounter, currently playing in the West End.
After their sell-out production of Cymbeline delighted audiences during the 2006 Complete Works Festival, Kneehigh return to Stratford upon Avon with a new production inspired by Mozart’s opera, Don Giovanni.
A woman nursing her dying father; a cleaner fighting for a better life; a career woman seeking the path that her life never took, a loyal friend, always in the shadows, fearing he will disappear and no-one will even notice. We are in the lonely hearts column of life and Save me is the silent call that drifts from their aching bodies.
But help is on hand. Enter Don John! Don John is dangerous, naughty and irresistible, a vessel for all our desires. He enters our lives and leaves us changed. Oh yes, he leaves us, for Don John belongs to nobody but himself and the devil!
With a sensational score of specially commissioned music, Don John promises to be visually stunning, anarchic and intoxicating.
