T1948323363A modern, accessible adaptation of Fredrick von Schiller’s lustful Don Carlos, stripped down by Mike Poulton and modernised with a new tone, style and delivery. Swift moving action, impassioned speeches and boldly drawn characters make this one of Schiller’s most exciting works not to be missed. Don Carlos, the Crown Prince, is passionately in love with Elizabeth, the French princess to whom he was once betrothed. Carlos’ tyrannical father,King Phillip II of Spain, decides to marry Elizabeth himself. The young prince’s hatred for his cold, distant parent knows no bounds. He enlists old friend Rodrigo, the Marquis of Posa to act as a go between. But Posa decides to covet Carlos and Elizabeth’s youthful passion into a full-scale rebellion against the kings’ bloody regime. Interweaving themes of honour, family and the corruptive nature of power in the times of the Spanish Inquisition, Don Carlos demonstrates a frustrated and near incestuous passion, sexual jealousy and intrigue, finally leading to rebellion and murder.
