Charles Eliasch Takes The Stage in Don Giovanni and As I Like It

As the progeny of a long line of artists who includes famed director Sidney Gilliat, it is no surprise that Charles Eliasch has become a stage veteran with extensive training and a veritable list of performances across the world including the U.K., New York, and Hong Kong -- all by the age of 19.

This May 25th and 26th, Eliasch performs as Don Giovanni in Don Giovanni at Mannes College The New School of Music, where he is pursuing opera. Conversely, the classically trained thespian steps away from operas and Shakespeare in July to star as the Devotee in As I Like It, which was written by his mother, artist and fashion editor, Amanda Eliasch (www.amandaeliasch.com). The play is a witty, candid, yet deeply personal memoir that weaves in and out of truth to tease and mesmerize audiences.

Don Giovanni plays at Mannes College from May 25 to May 26 at 7:30pm. Mannes College The New School of Music is located at 150 West 85th Street New York, NY 10024. Admission is free.

As I Like It runs for two weeks at the Chelsea Theatre in London, from July 5 to July 14. The Chelsea Theatre is located at 7 World's End Place, London SW10 0DR, United Kingdom. Tickets available at www.chelseatheatre.org.uk.
