Mark Stone balances the lad-mag swagger of Bieito’s homo-hetero Don with skinless vulnerability, exuding a cancerous air of self-hatred. In a stunningly well-balanced cast, this is a signal performance; the kind where you feel as though you can see the child who became this dangerous adult.

Mark Stone is perfect as the Don – lethally cruel and hinting at shards of insecurity behind the drop-dead-gorgeous façade.

Tim Ashley, Guardian, 01 October 2004

Stone’s performance as the giggling psycho at the centre is brilliant, a bundle of vicious sexual energy with charm and menace to spare.

Mark Stone’s Don Giovanni is the seducer to end them all.

Mark Stone [is] a sexy, convincingly alluring Giovanni.

Barry Millington, Evening Standard, 01 October 2004

Mark Stone is excellent in the title role, arrogantly nonchalant in his response to the havoc he creates around him.
