This is an interesting piece from Spain's Golden Age of Drama. It's about Segismundo who has been imprisoned his whole life. The king decides to give him a chance. He releases him. Only his son turns out to be the tyrant that was foreseen. Thus they try to convince him that everything he just saw was imagined. The play makes you think of the difference between dream and reality and how thin that can get. The theatre class I took at BYU Idaho is ending. However, I liked reading plays. During the class, I took notes on what other plays I should read. I now have an extensive list that will take me a while.
