La Bete was an original play which opened on Broadway in 1991. It is a verse play that is written in the style of Moliere, and takes place in the seventeenth century. What is it about? Hard to remember, but the central character is a bombastic schemer who (I think) politically tries to move himself up. He has an incredibly long monologue several minutes into the play. This is not an easy play to bring off, but for a school it is a strong challenge and I would think would be fun to work on. The playwright's name is Douglas Hirson

David O Hirson?

I found my Playbill,It only had 15 previews and 10 performances.
I liked it.(The critics obviously didn't) I thought it was pretty funny

Tom McGowan replaced Ron Silver, who was fired in Boston. I enjoyed it a lot too, and it had a marvelous physical production. I wish the reviews had been just a little more supportive. It was such a risky venture.

Loved Tom McGowan!
