Presented as a 15-20 minute reading by students of the Johnny Carson School in Theater and Film, University of Nebraska.
La destreza is an entremés, a short play written to be performed between acts of a longer comedia. In this play, a group of women use fencing as a metaphor to describe how they will take advantage of the men around them, using their skill (destreza) to do so. The performance will be the first for the play in approximately 350 years.
Medieval and Renaissance Studies and Theatre Professor Ian Borden have been working on a team translation project. This new translation of La destreza is a product of that collaboration, and Ian is happy to announce its premiere under directing student Hilda Rey’s supervision. We invite all to this performance with an optional talk-back afterward.
