Lessons in Love: Byron's Don Juan
T0
British actor Ian Frost as Lord Byron - and 14 other remarkable characters- tells the 'true' story of young Don Juan: from country to country and from bed to bed! The scandal in Spain, the shipwreck in the Mediterranean ... Juan nursed back to health on a Greek island by the beautiful daughter of a pirate chief (young love knows no language barrier; neither does a father's fury!). Juan then finds himself 'on the wrong side of the slave market!' ... Sold! - to the Sultan's wife. From the harem to the battlefield. Byron imagines Juan catching the eye of Catherine the Great of Russia, who falls for 'his face, his grace, his - God knows what ...!'Young Juan has learned his lessons well, as he plays the field in English 19th Century Society. Throughout, Byron adds his own ironic comments on life, love, and the World around him!
