The eternal Don Juan, the creation more than 350 years ago of a monk and dramatist known as Tirso de Molina, has appeared on the boards as a thinker and fool, hero and villain, but never as anything less than a great lover. Oscar Mandel's Theatre of Don Juan presents different aspects of the Don's spectacular progress through a half-dozen countries, epochs, and intellectual climates. Here are full-length plays by Molina, Molière, Shadwell, Da Ponte, Grabbe, Moncrieff, Zorrilla, and Rostand, excerpts from plays by Shaw, Montherlant, and Frisch, plus a dozen critical and interpretative essays. In his introduction, Mandel examines the legend of Don Juan.
