The play is an adventure/romance, filled with action and
rollicking with humor in the vein of “The Princess Bride” or “Xena
Warrior Princess.” This English translation and stage adaptation of
the play, written by Tirso de Molina in 1635, was recently developed
by Grand Valley faculty members Jason Yancey, assistant professor of
Spanish, and James Bell, assistant professor of theater. Molina, an
outstanding dramatist of the Golden Age of Spanish literature who
wrote more than 300 pieces, is best known for introducing the
character Don Juan in “El burlador de Sevilla.”
The production made its debut during the 2012 international
Spanish Golden Age Drama Festival at the Chamizal National Memorial in
El Paso, Texas, in March. Grand Valley was the only group from the
U.S. invited by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service,
to perform.
