SEEING THROUGH LOVE

By María Zayas (version of Nando López)

Translated by Catherine Boyle

Seville, 1647.

These are the two conditions: a test every month within the deadline of a year.

Nise, a lady renowned for her poetry and her beauty, demands these conditions from anyone who claims her hand. Only Octavio, a determined and stubborn young man, has been able to get to the last day of the last month unscathed. Neither of them imagine that their past, embodied in their two best friends, Beatrice and Manuel, will suddenly burst into their lives and force them to share secrets, desires and even a murky murder in the middle of a night. Their whole future depends on whether they know how to play their cards right.

A comedy written by Nando López based on the novel Seeing Through Love by María de Zayas. Nando López reclaims the modernity, the critical sense and the style of the great Baroque author.
