Description

Includes the plays The Innocent Child of La Guardia and The Jewess of Toledo Contained within The Innocent Child of La Guardia are two radically different plays: a simple devotional play that pits good against evil and another play full of black humour, cynical observation and reversals of expectation. The Jewess of Toledo, moving freely between the world of the spirits and the senses, is not only a reflection of Toledo itself but also of Lope's own character, which alternated between erotic obsessions and bouts of religiosity. This translation was first performed at the Bridewell Theatre, London.

Author Biography

Lope de Vega (1562-1635), acknowledged as Spain's most lyrical and energetic dramatist, was a prolific and complusive writer. He treated an enormous range of subjects, often mingling comedy with tragedy, to the horror of the classicists, and defended his methods in his 'Arte nuevo de hacer comedias en este tiempe', published in 1609. Micheal Jacobs was born in Italy and studied art history at the Courtauld Insitute, London. He then became a teacher and acclaimed travel writer. He is general editor for a series of volumes of Lope de Vega plays for Oberon Books. Plays Two includes his own translation of The Labyrinth of Desire and John Osborne's version of A Bond Honoured.
