House of Desires
by Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz
in a new translation by Catherine Boyle
This wild romantic farce was written by one of the few female playwright's of the age, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, a poet nun and major baroque literary figure of Mexico.
A delightful comedy, it involves a brother and sister entangled in a web of love with four others. With everyone under one roof, comic mayhem is created as all six characters struggle to be alone with their lover.
