THE SPANISH GOLDEN AGE PLAYS collects three playful spirited go-for-broke adaptation/translations by US Latina dramatist Caridad Svich of comedies by Maria Zayas de Sotomayor Lope de Vega and Calderon de la Barca. These three plays - A LITTLE BETRAYAL AMONG FRIENDS THE LABYRINTH OF DESIRE and THE MONSTER IN THE GARDEN - play fast and loose with issues of gender sexuality and identity and shed new light on works from Spain's golden age of drama.
