South Coast Repertory - 1990

South Coast Repertory
Costa Mesa, California
September 11-October 11, 1990

Director: Martin Benson
Set: Cliff Faulkner
Costume: Shigeru Yaji

The play, which Shaw wrote in 1901-02, is filled with complex ideologies that could become ponderous if handled incorrectly. Then there is the problem of the third act, which is dominated by a sequence known as "Don Juan in Hell." This dream scene underscores the play's ideas, yet it is largely expendable and is often cut. South Coast Repertory has wisely chosen to retain it, which in and of itself makes the production worth seeing.
