Why we like it

"David Hirson's 'La Bête' captivates with its witty exploration of art and authenticity, set against the backdrop of a controversial playwright's encounter with a naïve actor."

From: Two-Hander Plays

What readers are saying

Readers appreciate the unique use of rhyming couplets and the play's exploration of artistic integrity. However, some wish for a contemporary setting rather than one reminiscent of Molière's time. The ambiguity of the character's journey also raises questions among some viewers.
