[Comedias] Recent plays based on Golden Age classics?

[comedias at comedias.org]

Dear Celia,
What an interesting project.

I have adapted:

"Heaven Bent Hell Bound" (El condenado por desconfiado- Actors Touring Company of London 1987)
"The Magic Theatre" (El retablo de las maravillas - Winged Horse Touring Company of Edinburgh 1989)
"Don Duardos" (after Gil Vicente's play of the same title - runner up Gate Theatre translation competition)
"The Force of Destiny" (La fuerza del destino - also runner up in Gate Theatre competition!)

Unlike my CELESTINA, Calderon and Lorca translations these have not yet been published, but are available directly from me.

Good luck with your project

>>  For a syllabus I am working on, could any of you suggest plays of the past 50 to 100 years based on classics of the Early Modern period? There are myriad adaptations of Life Is a Dream, of course, most of them referring to that play in their title. But are any of you aware of others?  Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thank you.
