'Entre Marta y Lope' ('Between Marta and Lope') Fall Tour

A contemporary play on the last days of Lope de Vega, the foremost Spanish playwright of the Golden Age.

Entre Marta y Lope (Between Marta and Lope) was conceived to introduce audiences to this key figure, whose corpus includes over 400 plays. This heartfelt performance enchants audiences with its portrait of Lope, a worn playwright and incorrigible womanizer who lives isolated from the world after a life full of art and adventure. By his side, keeping him company in the dark night, Marta de Nevares: his last lover, his sin, his passion, his punishment and his reward. Entre Marta y Lope is pure theatre to celebrate a man to whom the world was just one big stage.

The play, which premiered in Madrid in 2013, comes to the U.S. thanks to the Golden Age University Theatre Network, a collaboration between Fundación Siglo de Oro and several universities and educational institutions aimed at bringing the cultural scene of Spain and the U.S. together presenting in American stages Spanish productions.
