<div>Dear Comediantes --<br>
</div>
For a syllabus I am working on, could any of you suggest plays of the past 50 to 100 years based on classics of the Early Modern period? There are myriad adaptations of Life Is a Dream, of course, most of them referring to that play in their title. But are
any of you aware of others? Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thank you.<br>
