Friedrich Schiller's Don Carlos, a new adaptation written and directed by Tony Estrella (Sep. 4-Oct. 5, 2008) Espionage, intrigue and a royal family devouring itself against the brutal backdrop of the Spanish Inquisition. Set in the 16th Century and inspired by Shakespeare, German playwright Friedrich Schiller's seldom-staged political thriller is an undisputed masterpiece. Young Don Carlos is passionately in love with his former fiancée, Elizabeth, whom his tyrannical father, King Philip II, has forcibly married. Fueled by jealously and provoked by his childhood friend Rodrigo the fearless and idealistic Marquis of Posa the distraught crown prince is unwittingly drawn into a full-scale rebellion against his father's oppressive and bloody regime. At once a heartbreaking tale of personal passion and a timely cry for democracy, Estrella's new version of Don Carlos is elegant, powerful and not to be missed!
