MAN AND SUPERMAN: A comedy of Hellish proportions. Jack Tanner, a confirmed bachelor, is determined to keep clear of Ann’s matrimonial designs on him. He flees across continents and even, in the dream act of DON JUAN IN HELL, to Hades for a chat with the Devil and back again to avoid entrapment. But, finally, her intelligent will is too much for him. This incendiary and rarely produced play will be performed complete, though in a substantially cut three-hour version.
