Theatre ¾¨Ó㴫ý concludes the year with "Baker from Madrigal" Thursday-Saturday, April 29-May 1, at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, May 2, at 2:30 in Beeghly Theater.
The drama centers around the disappearance of King Sebastian of Portugal, and the Spanish annex of Portugal. For over a decade the Portugese resisted Spain's control, and claimed sightings of their king. Many claimed that Gabriel Espinosa, a wealthy baker and merchant with a mysterious past, was their king, but he never made such a claim. Finally the Spanish capture him along with his beautiful daughter, Aurora, and is tried as a pretender to the throne.Â
"The 'Baker from Madrigal' has a bit of mystery, a bit of swordplay and deering-do, and is a poignant family drama," said Scott Mackenzie, assistant professor of theatre and director of the play. "This show is truly a product of the small college liberal arts environment. I've been able to work with faculty members from three other departments to create the production."
"Baker from Madrigal" is a translation of the 19th century Spanish revenge drama "Traidor, inconfeso y martir" written by Jose Zorrilla and translated into English by Dr. Jeff Bersett, assistant professor of Spanish. This production is the English language premier.
"We are very excited to provide the opportunity to work on an original production for our students," Mackenzie said. "They have done everything we could have asked for and more as they helped to develop the characters and flesh out what Jeff has put on the page."
