The House of Desires

West Campus Studio Theatre

By Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, adapted by Catherine Boyle

Directed by Adam Houghton

This Spanish Golden Age romantic farce is a wild tale of confusion and mistaken identity complete with wily servants and witless nobles. In a new, critically acclaimed adaptation, The House of Desires examines the agency of women in a time when they were subject to strict moral codes, in both religion and society.
