La Bête is a riotous comedy starring Mark Rylance, Tony and four-time Emmy Award–winning Frasier actor David Hyde Pierce, and BBC's Absolutely Fabulous co-star Joanna Lumley. The plot circles like a hilarious carrion crow around a rivalry between two radically contrasting playwrights. Inspired by French satirist Molière and written by prize-winning playwright David Hirson, the story crescendos into an entertaining maelstrom of clashing philosophies. Designated a New York City landmark in 1987, the Music Box Theatre brings this delightful comedy to life just blocks from Times Square, itself a bastion of modern street theater and philosophically opposed advertisements.
Reviews
La Bête was featured in The New York Times in November, mentioned in Time magazine, and countless other press outlets. NY1 reviewed La Bête in October:
- Director Matthew Warchus has clearly raised the bar on this production maintaining a pristine period gloss and sensibility. He makes the most of Mark Thompson‘s grandiose library setting, rising it seems, almost as high as the talents on that stage.. – Roma Torre, NY1
