La Bête tells the story of Elomire, a 17th century French playwright, and his touring acting troupe who have come to lead the high life due to the patronage of the fickle Prince of Conti. Sparks fly when Valere, a swaggering braggart with delusions of artistic grandeur, becomes the Prince's choice to join Elomire's troupe. It is a battle of wits and witticisms as the two face off in this outrageous commentary on the nature of art and the artist in society. Starring Michael Cumpsty, John DeLancie, Tom McGowen, and Robert Machray. Written by David Hirson. Directed by Kate McAll. The show includes an interview with playwright David Hirson.
