[Comedias] Invitation to Lope de Vega Zoom adaptation

[AHCT Listserv]

 Dear AHCT Members:



My name is Adrienne Dawes and I'm an MFA-Theatre candidate at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. Inspired by coursework with M. Reina Ruiz, I wrote a modern bilingual adaptation of Lope de Vega's "El perro del hortelano" for my Playwriting Adaptation workshop.


As part of this year's virtual Arktype Festival, we'll be presenting a FREE live-streamed reading of the play on YouTube on Friday January 29th at 7:30pm CT with a talented group of undergraduate and graduate actors directed by Estefanía Fadul. I will also host (through my personal website) a recording of the performance Feb 1-8, 2021 (free & available to the public). Happy to hear any feedback you have about the draft or "talk shop" about our virtual theatre process. A 10pg excerpt of the script is posted to New Play Exchange (membership required): https://newplayexchange.org/plays/1185277/bitch-esta-sangre-quiero<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnewplayexchange.org%2Fplays%2F1185277%2Fbitch-esta-sangre-quiero&data=04%7C01%7Cabdawes%40uark.edu%7Cd39312f64fe64594d85f08d8bdabc5c7%7C79c742c4e61c4fa5be89a3cb566a80d1%7C0%7C0%7C637467892755579576%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=TiLgTbaucmfAq3T0iolD8o6c8zKHBCHWmtXMMZUl0lA%3D&reserved=0>

THIS BITCH: ESTA SANGRE QUIERO

By Adrienne Dawes (2nd-year M.F.A. Candidate in Playwriting)
Directed by Guest Director Estefanía Fadul
Music by Eric Johnson and Edwin Green (2nd-year MFA Candidate in Acting)
Music Direction by Nehemiah Luckett

SYNOPSIS:
When Diana, a ruthless and power-hungry Pilates influencer, learns her social media manager Teodoro is hooking up with her makeup artist Madeinusa, it sparks bitter jealousy. Even though it would be social suicide for her to date someone with zero followers, Diana finds herself falling madly in love but if she can’t have Teodoro . . . no one can! This Bitch: Esta Sangre Quiero is a big, bawdy, bilingual Gen Z comedy inspired by Lope de Vega’s Golden Age epic masterpiece “El perro del hortelano.”

*Can’t make it to the live event January 29th? A FREE recording of This Bitch will be available online February 1-8, 2021.
