Description

Life is a Dream by Pedro Calderón de la Barca and Helen Edmundson is a poetic and epic masterpiece that explores the nature of illusion, reality, fate, and destiny. In this richly imagined tale, a young prince is condemned to be shut away from his country and birthright for all eternity, forced to dream of a life reversed. To protect his kingdom from prophesied horrors, the prince's isolation is meant to prevent him from experiencing the world. Yet, in this secret world high in the mountains, he can only imagine a life of palaces, empires, freedom, and revenge. This version of Calderón's work was premiered at the Donmar Warehouse, London, in 2009. A poignant exploration of the human condition, Life is a Dream offers a thought-provoking and deeply moving reading experience.
