La Bete Leaves
by Broadway.com Staff • Nov 9, 2010
David Hirson's rollicking play La Bête, starring David Hyde Pierce and Mark Rylance, plays its final performance at Broadway's Music Box Theatre.
Set in 17th century France, the Moliere-inspired La Bête is a farce written in iambic pentameter that tells of a government-sponsored theater troupe that is shaken up when the group's patron insists that a buffoonish street performer joins the company.
