Sinopsis

ItâÇÖs a strange new world, indeed! Who knows what is true? As seventeenth-century Spain experiences the growing pains of change, discovery, and globalism, playwright Juan Ruiz de Alarcón exploits the publicâÇÖs receptiveness with the ultimate gaslighting romance. AlarcónâÇÖs protagonist tests the loyalty of his beloved by pretending to be Cousin Diego from Flanders. Strangely, and uniquely in Spanish drama, there is no costume involved in the trickery-only lies and disinformation. Even close friends and family believe the lie (or do they?) ... and who learns the lesson? With this new translation, the team at UCLAâÇÖs Center for 17th and 18th Century Studies brings AlarcónâÇÖs play El semejante a s¡ mismo to an English-speaking audience.áTranslated by the UCLAáWorking Group on the Comedia in Translation and Performance.This volume is part of the Diversifying the Classics project at UCLA, which seeks to foster awareness and appreciation of the Hispanic Golden Age and give theater professionals the materials and tools to explore its rich tradition.áFor more information, visit the UCLA project on the web:http://diversifyingtheclassics.humanities.ucla.edu/
