Through her literary career, Zayas accomplished such things with great success and popularity, although her theater play was never staged. Enredos y traiciones is a free version of the comedy of entanglement La traición en la amistad by María de Zayas – A play that, back in the day could not make it to the stage, today is reimagined by six actresses and a female director who aspire to vindicate the relevance of Zayas’s theater in contemporary society.
