Red Bull Theater continues its exploration of Hispanic Golden Age Classics with this world premiere English translation of a play about a queen who is forced into the wilderness by her power-hungry sister. The fallen queen steals her niece and raises her as a feral girl, who then encounters human society for the first time when she grows up and falls in love. With its daring vision of female sexuality, and strong questioning of our ideas about civilization and its limits, this beast is a daring proto-feminist comedy.
