David Hirson's La Bete is a comedic ode to Moliere where ego meets art. Elomire (note the anagram) is a high-brown dramatist completely in love with theatre, and Valere (Mark Rylance) is a street clown in love with himself. Fickle Princess Conti (Joanna Lumley) quickly gets bored of Elomire's troupe, so leaves him and Valere in a fight for artistic survival.
You'll recognise David Hyde-Pierce from his hilarious protrayal of the besotted Niles on Frasier; and Mark Rylance has been stunning crowds with his performance in Jerusalem at Apollo Theatre.
After its West End run, La Bete will enjoy the bright lights of Broadway.
