Additional Details

Other Works:
Don Juan in Hell (1951). Comedy. Written by George Bernard Shaw. Directed by Charles Laughton. New Century Theatre: 29 Nov 1951- 31 Dec 1951 (38 performances). Cast: Charles Boyer (as "Don Juan"), Cedric Hardwicke (as "The Statue"), Charles Laughton (as "Devil"), Agnes Moorehead (as "Donna Ana"). Produced by Paul Gregory. Note: Essentially a staged reading, the production had a single performance at Carnegie Hall on October 22, 1951; it then returned to New York, playing the New Century Theatre on Broadway from November 29 - December 31, 1951 for 38 performances. After a three-month hiatus, the production staged a return engagement at Broadway's Plymouth Theatre from April 6 - May 24, 1952, playing a total of 66 performances. Boyer was presented with a special Tony Award for his performance as Don Juan. The production toured the U.S. and was recorded on LP by Columbia (now Sony) Masterworks. As of 2005, however, the recording has not been released on CD, and the production itself was never filmed. more
