Don Juan in Soho starring David Tennant

Patrick Marber's highly anticipated revival of Don Juan in Soho starring the former Time Lord , David Tennant, has now opened to mixed reviews at the Wyndham's Theatre. Tennant's performance as the irresistible sexual deviant is widely praised, for his 'beguiling, fleet-footed charm' ★★★★ Guardian,  'swank and an appropriately sleazy swagger' ★★ The Stage and for bringing 'an exciting physicality and air of sexy mischief to the odious DJ' ★★★ Evening Standard.  Ann Treneman, ★★★★ The Times gushes that 'David Tennant does make a very good bad boy.' Marber's updated script and direction fare less well with Mark Shenton, The Stage, stating the 'production is over-produced and lacking subtlety', Dominic Cavendish, Daily Telegraph, gave it the 'red light' saying 'Not even David Tennant in a posing pouch can save this flaccid comedy'. Click here to book tickets TimeOut  found it a rather enjoyable  'brisk, amusing production', and The Times though there were 'moments of inspiration'. Still it can't be all bad if Michael Billington, The Guardian, a bell-weather for a good show gave it ★★★★. Don Juan in Soho runs until 10 June 2017 at the Wyndham's Theatre.
