Las Meninas at Profile Theatre

On December 2, Profile Theatre will release the third and final audio play of their Fall 2020 season. Set in the court of Louis XIV, Las Meninas tells the probably true story of the Spanish Queen Marie-Therese, and her affair with Nabo Sensugali, a Little Person from Dahomey. Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lynn Nottage imagines the story through the eyes of Nabo and Marie-Thereses daughter, exiled to a nunnery. Nottages vivid imagining of this forgotten bit of Baroque history reveals contemporary truths about race and asks us to consider whose stories are either erased from history, or never recorded at all?
