Life Is A Dream

By Calderón de la Barca

Rating: PG (ages 10+)

Considered a masterpiece of Spanish drama, Life is a Dream is unlike anything you have ever seen at CRT. Presented in English, this play tells the story of a man who has lived his entire life imprisoned in a cave, only to awake one day to find that he is a prince in a palace. But which life is real and which is a dream? Written in 1635, this play seems as if it were written today as it explores whether free will can overcome the weight of destiny.
