House of Desires

T01334646258
This hilarious farce involves a brother and sister entangled in a web of love with four others - with everyone under one roof, comic mayhem is created as all six characters struggle to be alone with their lover and we try to work out who really loves whom. Written by one of the few female playwrights of the age, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz was a poet nun and is perhaps best known as a major Baroque literary figure of Mexico.
