Revision as of 11:43, 26 February 2007 by Thijs!bot (talk | contribs) (robot Adding: de:Dom Juan ou le Festin de pierre)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Dom Juan (Dom Juan ou le Festin de pierre) is French play based on the tale of Don Juan, by the famous French playwright Molière. It is the last part in Molière's trilogy of hypocrisy, after The School for Wives and Tartuffe. It was first performed on February 15, 1665, in the Palais-Royal hall.
The play's title and the name of the main character are often mistakenly translated as "Don Juan". The spelling "dom" was used at the time in France as an abbreviation of "dominus". This makes the title "Dom Juan" an indication that Molière's play is not really the story of a remote situation in Spain, but actually a satire of what was going on at the time in France. "Dom" also represents a title of nobility in Spanish.
