The Latvian National Theatre in Riga is showing a production of «Don Juan», a play by the French dramatist Molière. It is directed by Alexander Morfov, a Bulgarian theatre director. LSM's Russian-language edition has published a review that rates the production very highly.
The reviewer writes that it is the best thing she has seen at the National Theatre this season. She adds a caveat: the season has only just begun, so the basis for comparison is limited.
According to the critic, one does not need to be a fortune-teller to predict a long and happy life for the show. In her view, it can expect steady audience success and nominations for theatre awards.
These are the reviewer's personal assessments and forecasts, not established facts about the production's future. The source passage does not name the cast, performance dates or other production details.
The review is titled «The Mathematics of Emptiness», which hints at the critic's approach to the staging. The excerpt does not explain that approach in more detail.
