Play of the Month: Don Juan in Hell

BBC One
on BBC One London

by Bernard Shaw
[Starring] Christopher Plummer, Michael Redgrave, Michael Hordern, Vivien Merchant

From The Great Hall, Blenheim Palace
The Don Juan legend - modern style - out of Mozart by Bernard Shaw. It concerns the Don, his victim the Commander, a jealous mistress and the Devil, who sit in Hell and discuss its merits compared with the Other Place. The core of their argument is that a Don Juan is not a conqueror but a slave to the Life Force, personified by all the women who woo and win a man to be the father of their children.

(Christopher Plummer... grateful to an albatross called Sound of Music: page 6)
