Synopsis:
“One of the Spanish Golden Age’s most accomplished female playwrights, Ana Caro presents a witty critique of society through the story of Leonor, a woman who sets out to find her one-time lover (Don Juan, of course) and bring him to justice. The Courage to Right a Woman’s Wrongs is a comedy of wild intrigue and lively ingenuity in which Leonor defies social expectations of gender in order to bring her fickle lover to justice and restore her lost honor
“Leonor has been wronged by Don Juan—so, what’s a girl to do? Hunt the rat down and take a sword to his throat, of course! Dressed as the dashing Leonardo, Leonor travels to find him and initiates her shrewd plan for revenge. What follows is a hilarious feat of masterful maneuvering, cross-dressing, and unexpected twists. Don Juan may have finally met his match!”
