The Ensemble Project: Life is a Dream

Date: 
Friday 13 Mar 2009 1:00pm to Friday 10 Apr 2009 12:00pm
Venue: 
Herald Theatre, THE EDGE

Rosaura is on a crusade to avenge her past. She becomes lost in a wild country, discovering a chained wild-man, Segismundo, who has been imprisoned in a tower for his entire life. They fall in love.

Rosaura is a woman disguised as a man.
Segismundo is a prince, who believes he's a slave.

The country is in chaos, ruled by a King who would sacrifice his own son rather than relinquish power.
The couple must conquer a world of treachery and mistaken identity before they can awaken to a world of love.

This is one of the great poetic plays of the Spanish theatre, an exultant journey through a fairy-tale landscape of destiny, desire and illusion.
