By Odon Von Horvath
Translated and Adapted by Christopher Hampton
Directed by Kristine Landon-Smith
Odon Von Horvath’s Don Juan Comes Back from the War translated and adapted by Christopher Hampton is a series of melancholic and bleak encounters that paint a disturbing and unsettling panorama of a post-war society. Writing the play in 1934 at a catastrophic moment in German history, yet setting it in 1918 immediately after the Great War, Horvath comments on a post war optimism being nipped in the bud which gives way to a decaying society where institutionalized violence of a state run by Fascism is on the rise.
