ellenkushnerI've been wanting for years to see this all-women theatre troupe (there's a documentary about them, "Dream Girls") - and, for tomorrow's matinee, we finally make it! It's a double-feature: Valencian Passion and Space Fantasista (sic). The descriptions of both are here. You must see them. They include such gems as
A pompous soiree is held at Prince Lucanor’s castle. In a corner of the hall, Prince Lucanor’s second wife Sylvia is with the prince’s nephew Rodrigo Granados, who was her lover. Sylvia’s father had been arrested for treason, and was released in exchange for her marrying the prince[...]. Fernando, who is also present at the soiree, notices the burning hatred against Lucanor in the eyes of his friend Rodrigo, and invites him to the downtown bar El Patio. [Kinda sounds like something Jo March might have written, doesn't it?]
and
Scenes 7 – 8: COSMIC 3 (Moon): In the beautiful lunar world, the moon goddess Rhea sings longingly for a lover she has not yet met. while her ladies-in-waiting, including Basin, elegantly dance.
I can hardly wait.
