La Bête

by David Hirson

A great classical actor fights to protect tradition from the new, the outrageous, the vulgar, the truly popular. A riotously hilarious and theatrically brilliant struggle that may have no winners.

This sharply funny comedy follows a 17th century acting troupe whose financier/patron forces them to add an actor to their ensemble – the street-performer Valere. Trouble soon follows when the troupe’s cultured leader hates the new actor. But Valere soon charms the troupe, and the audience, with his impressive and highly entertaining antics. Find out who wins in this laugh-a-minute, award-winning play. Winner of an Outer Critics Circle Award and Olivier Award.
