THE DOG IN THE MANGER
by Lope de Vega
translated by David Johnston
directed by J Hernandez
Lope de Vega was one of the greatest playwrights of Spain and a star of the Spanish Golden Age. In THE DOG IN THE MANGER he questions how privilege is achieved and how is it maintained? What is the relationship between blood, blue blood and sex? What are the subterfuges that nobility will emply in order to maintain its privilege and its status? And the question that underlies it all: where does the principle of love, the bond of common humanity, sit with all of this?
