Isabella, the proud queen of Spain and Portugal, refuses to believe that any woman alive can challenge her for beauty and virtue. Lord Bonavida rashly disputes her claim, and finds himself facing eternal banishment if he cannot find a paragon to match her. His choice lights on the Englishwoman Helena, but the queen will not surrender without a fight. A Challenge for Beauty shows an elder statesman of English drama trying his hand at the fashionable style of the mid 1630s. Rehearsed reading.
