Join us for the West Coast Premiere of this wonderful Commedia!

Lope de Vega’s The Beast of Hungary (1617) takes the audience on a wild journey, from the forests of Hungary to the courts of kings. With humor and pathos, the play explores eternal questions about justice, loyalty, and what makes us “human”—in all our frailty and nobility. A virtuous queen is forced into the wilderness by her power-hungry sister. As revenge, she steals her niece and raises her as a feral girl, who then encounters human society for the first time when she grows up and falls in love. The extremes of the human heart are on display, from murderous jealousy to the first buddings of young love, making us question what truly separates man from beast.

This production will be the West Coast Premiere of Lope’s play in English! Be some of the first people to see this fun, fantastical, and romantic play! This production features a wonderful cast of Los Osos High School Theatre students and will include a scene in the play’s original Spanish. You don’t want to miss this wonderful opportunity to be a part of theatre history in the making!
