Don Juan—a wealthy socialite, seducer, and cynic—defies love, society, and Heaven, refusing to repent until the very end. Ivan Vyrypaev has created a compact and theatrically imaginative adaptation of Molière’s comedy. Grounded in rigorous scholarly research and developed over two years with a director, a Molière scholar, and other specialists, it brings the action into the present and replaces historically specific jokes with contemporary equivalents. Preserving the plot, structure, philosophical core, and living rhythm of the original, this stage-ready text allows Molière to speak directly to audiences today.
