The Mayor of Zalamea

Fri 13 Feb to Sat 6 Mar 2004

EVERYMAN

17th Century Spain. A peasant and his daughter provide shelter for a bawdy troop of soldiers and unleash a passionate drama.

Love is spurned; revenge sworn; honour ravaged; swords unsheathed; songs sung.

Adrian Mitchell returns to the Everyman with his sparkling adaptation of Calderón De La Barca’s “undoubted world masterpiece” (The Guardian).

This tale of crime and punishment wittily and compellingly embraces extraordinary emotional themes- bravery, justice, honour, love – among ‘ordin’ry’, humble people – and marks the production debut of our Artistic Director Gemma Bodinetz.

The Mayor of Zalamea

"Bodinetz handled it all superbly; the comedy very funny, the sentiment gripping, the love and passion just right and those fights, edge-of-the-seat stuff"
