David Tennant to Headline Don Juan in Soho in the West End

Former Doctor Who star David Tennant is set to return to the West End—he will take on the titular role in Patrick Marber’s play Don Juan in Soho. Marber himself will direct the production, which is set to begin previews on March 17, 2017 and officially open on March 28. The limited engagement is scheduled to run through June 10 at the Wyndham’s Theatre.

Loosely based on Molière tragicomedy Don Juan, this savagely funny and filthy modern update transports the action to contemporary London and follows the final adventures of its debauched protagonist—a cruel seducer who lives only for pleasure.

Tennant’s additional screen credits include Broadchurch, Casanova, Jessica Jones and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Theater credits include Hamlet, Richard II and Much Ado About Nothing.

The production will feature set and costume designs by Anne Fleischle and sound and music by Adam Cork. Further casting will be announced later.
