The Courage to Right a Woman’s Wrongs
,
November 13-20, 2026,
The Courage to Right a Woman’s Wrongs, By Ana Caro, Translated by UCLA's Diversifying the Classics Project, Directed by Jesse Jou, Longstreet Theatre,
One of only two surviving plays from one of Spain’s most revered female playwrights, The Courage to Right a Woman’s Wrongs is a subversive 17th century comedy whose sharp social critiques still resonate today. When Doña Leonor is suddenly cast aside after being seduced by the faithless Don Juan, she concocts a daring plan to disguise herself as a cunning swordsman (Leonardo), restore her honor, and bring her former lover to justice. Filled with wit, romance and intrigue, this modern translation of Ana Caro’s pioneering masterpiece is a fast-paced theatrical romp about a woman reclaiming her agency in a world designed to deny it.
Admission Cost: $15 - $22.
