Molière's Don Juan (Prospect Park)

Join Molière in the Park for the biting, ever-relevant tragicomedy DON JUAN.

Don Juan, one of French literary legend Molière‘s most controversial works, explores themes of class, sex, religion, and freedom, exposing societal hypocrisy along the way. A perfect blend of farce and profound ethical questioning, Don Juan remains just as thought-provoking, hilarious, and relevant as when it was first put on (and promptly censored by France’s religious right) some 400 years ago.
🎟️ FREE to attend with RSVP
⏱️ Performance runtime: TBD
Directed by Lucie Tiberghien
Translation by Stephen Wadsworth

About Molière in the Park:
Molière in the Park’s (MIP) mission is to promote empathy and unity within the diverse communities in Brooklyn through the arts. MIP offers free opportunities for all to come together in Prospect Park and experience the benefits of theater. MIP’s vision is of a Brooklyn where all communities can benefit equally from access to theater and the Arts.
