MAINSTAGE:
Love is the Greater Labyrinth
by Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz
translated by Diversifying the Classics
Directed by Anna Rebek, Guest Director
November 8-10 & 14-16, 2024 in the Ruth Caplin Theatre
Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz is a celebrated 17th century Mexican playwright, philosopher, poet, and nun. This new translation of her final play tells the story of Theseus and the Minotaur, but the dangers of the Labyrinth are nothing compared to the intricate maze of suitors, lovers, and rivals who are vying for one another’s affection and threatening one another’s lives. Sor Juana’s play follows the Spanish Comedia tradition of freely mixing tragedy and comedy for surprising results that will keep audiences on their toes as they follow the twists and turns.
