THE LIONESSES OF CASTILLA.

Comic play for family and youth audiences in 16th century Valladolid .

It offers the viewer the chance to immerse themselves in a period tale, based on a meeting that could have been real between two little-known characters: Ángela Palafox and María Pacheco , using a comedy thread to learn about our history, customs, talking about politics, culture and the concerns of women in that century: their worries, desires, rights...

"The Lionesses of Castile" begins with the meeting of two women in a warehouse of wool destined to be exported to the Netherlands. One of them is dressed as a man to go unnoticed and the other in her underwear because the communards have stolen everything from her. Being in this space from which they cannot or do not want to escape, a host of comical situations occur, until their identities are revealed and a tremendously funny debate takes place between the representatives of both sides: Angela sells information to the royalist side and Maria comes from Toledo to visit and deliver money to her husband Juan de Padilla .

Two women, two lionesses, will guide spectators on a journey to the heart of the 16th century.

Genre: Theatre. Style: Comedy. Duration: 55 min.
