Join us for a conversation with noted actor and translator Dakin Matthews and scholars Carla della Gatta (FSU) and Barbara Fuchs (UCLA), and a reading of scenes from Lope?s Castelvines y Monteses. On March 18, New York's Public Theater will release a podcast of?Romeo y Julieta , a bilingual version of Shakespeare's play, adapted by Saheem Ali & Ricardo P?rez Gonz?lez, and based on the Spanish translation by Alfredo Michel Modenessi. A recent interview with director Saheem Ali is here . Our presenters will discuss this production in relation to a much earlier Spanish version of the Romeo and Juliet story, Lope de Vega's Castelvines y Monteses , now translated into English by Dakin Matthews as Capulets and Montagues. We will also offer a staged reading of selected scenes from Capulets. The text for the scenes will be distributed to all registrants. A complete text of Matthews' translation is forthcoming in April 2021 from Juan de la Cuesta . The webinar is free and open to all, but you must register here .
