Don Juan Tenorio

Every year there is a public performance of the classic play Don Juan Tenorio. The play is a comedy and follows Don Juan, who is a womanizing murderer. Throughout the play more and more of his friends and family warn him to change, but he refuses. Eventually, he is informed he will be cast down to hell, and finally repents, ascending to heaven with his true love.

There were probably several thousand people crowded around four massive outside stages. Each act took place on a different stage. The plot wasn't necessarily my favorite, but I did find myself laughing at several parts of the play. My theater geek left me analyzing the production itself. The blocking was incredible, and the director really did a fantastic job staging the entire performance so that it was easy to see and engaging throughout the three hour standing room only performance. The fight scenes were seamless, and the acting was superb. Don Juan did such a good job that the audience was able to hate him in all the right ways throughout the play, yet not feel too cheated with the twist ending.
