| Publisher Description: In The Actor and the Emperor (Lo fingido verdadero, c. 1608), Dakin Matthews brings the Spanish playwright Lope de Vega to the English-speaking audience with the story of the Roman martyr St. Genesius, who converts to Christianity while performing for the emperor Diocletian. Repercussions ensue. This volume is part of the Diversifying the Classics project at UCLA, which seeks to foster awareness and appreciation of the Hispanic Golden Age and give theater professionals the materials and tools to explore its rich tradition. |
