Censored in the late 18th Century by the Catholic Church, Astucias por heredar un sobrino a un tio (Tricks to Inherit: A Nephew from his Uncle) was the first play ever performed by Hispanic settlers in Central California where the original manuscript was preserved in the Santa Cruz/Monterey area.
Banned since 1792, this long-lost comedy of manners set in the Age of Revolution is one of the earliest pieces of theatre written and performed in the New World.
LA CELESTINA, a fresh adaptation by Raquel Carrio from the classic Spanish Golden Age novel by Fernando de Rojas, is presented by Milagro Theatre, now through March 2, 2013.
