Description
|
|
|
|
When King Basilio of Poland hears a prophecy that his young son Segismundo will bring ruin to the realm, the King has him imprisoned and implies that he is dead. Although King Basilio later has a change of heart and reinstates Segismundo to his position as heir to the throne, the young man soon begins to fulfill the prophecy. Or is it a dream, and if so, whose? Considered one of the outstanding Spanish dramas of all time, Pedro Calderón de la Barca's 17th-century allegorical play explores the mysteries of human destiny and the struggle between predestination and free will.
