Life is a Dream (La Vida es Sueño)

Author(s): Pedro Calderón de la Barca, in a version by Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod Company: Cheek by Jowl

A prince chained in a mountain. A young woman disguised as a man, in search of vengeance. Revolution, love and murder—but in Life is a Dream, is the real truly real or is it all just a dream?

Written in verse in 1635, Life is a Dream is one of Spanish dramatist Pedro Calderón de la Barca’s best-known and most studied works and was listed as one of the 40 greatest plays of all time by The Independent.
