Synopsis:

The play is set in Nabancia, an ancient Portuguese city. Britaldo, a nobleman, is due to marry Rosimunda. On their wedding Britaldo comes across Irene, a novice nun who is on her way to join the choir, and immediately falls passionately in love with her, plunging him into a deep depression. The feelings aroused in Britaldo have a disturbing effect on all the characters, a soulful awakening which makes them into various archetypes typical of “amour fou”, which makes no allowances for social, religious or personal considerations. Steeped in a Calderonian idiom, this riotous, tragicomic adaptation of the religious comedy by Ángela de Acevedo drags its protagonists along paths of adultery, sacrilege, calumny and crime.
