From Don Juan in Soho, May 2009

Three of the cast of Don Juan in Soho promoted the production's May arrival at Brentwood Theatre.  The 21^st century update of Moliere's 1665 original comes to Brentwood May 14-16, with some of the hedonist's victims played by (from left) Romy Brooks, Emma Feeney and Lindsay Hollingsworth.

Don Juan in Soho debuted in London in 2006, relocating the playboy to the modern day Soho of swank new hotels and old strip joints within the same square mile.  The play is written by Patrick Marber and put on in Brentwood by Havering's Kytes Theatre Group.

Romy, from Collier Row, plays Don Juan's new and already heartbroken wife Romy – most likely upset by DJ's activities with the prostitute role of Emma, of Upminster.  Warley's Lindsay, as Mattie, makes her name by resisting the womaniser's advances.

DJ in Soho contains enough lust, deceit and vengeance to carry an adults-only warning.  Romy, Emma and Lindsay confirmed it's "neither the show for minors nor grandmothers, unless they're open minded".  You have been warned – but hopefully still see you there!
