HISPANIC GOLDEN AGE CLASSICS
THE BEAST OF HUNGARY
SEPTEMBER 2024
This reading is produced in partnership with​ the Diversifying the Classics | UCLA. A Hispanic Classic in a world premiere English translation of a play about a queen who is forced into the wilderness by her power-hungry sister.
The Hispanic Golden Age offers one of the most vibrant theatrical repertoires ever produced. At the same time that England saw the flourishing of Shakespeare on the Elizabethan and Jacobean stage and in the decades that followed, Spanish-speaking playwrights including Lope de Vega, Tirso de Molina, Ana Caro, Sor Juana, and Calderón de la Barca flourished on the continent and in the New World. Many of the works created during this time have still not been translated into English.
​
This season, we are celebrating THE BEAST OF HUNGARY by Lope De Vega. Únete al espectáculos! Join the show!!
