By Pedro Calderon de la Barca, translated and adapted by John Clifford. In this neglected masterpiece of Spanish Golden Age drama, Prince Fernando of Portugal is captured during a raid on North Africa. The King of Fez offers to free Fernando in exchange forthe town of Ceuta, which has been captured by the Portuguese. Fernando refuses. Is his decision heroic or foolish?
