Chelmsford Theatre Workshop at The Old Court Theatre are journeying back in time to the 16th Century in July to present ‘The Dog in the Manger’ by Lope de Vega and translated in 2004 by David Johnston for the RSC.
In de Vega’s hilarious and sexy comedy, the beautiful Countess Diana does not express desire for her attractive secretary Teodoro until after he seduces her lady-in-waiting Marcela. Diana then decides she must have him for herself, even though he is apparently beneath her station. She runs hot and cold on him, as he does on Marcela. Meanwhile, two of Diana’s jealous suitors scheme to get Teodoro out of the way by plotting his murder. Come for a great evening out to see this sexy funny comedy and join in the fun. 16th Century costume optional!!
Door open at 19.45p.m. July 22- 24 & 28-31 July. Box Office 01245 606505 Web site www.ctw.org.uk
Will Diana and Teodoro ever be able to fully realise their true love at last? Can anyone save Teodoro from a violent death? And what of Marcela? Will she find a love she can call her own? Scheme follows scheme and plan follows plan as lovers long for each other’s arms.
