KING OF SPAIN'S DAUGHTER
By Teresa Deevy
Considered “among the greatest one-acts ever written,” King of Spain’s Daughter tells the story of Annie, a girl whose head swims with daydreams and whose heart beats for adventure. Then one April day, when she must decide between marriage or a grueling factory job, reality threatens to crush her dreams. What will she choose?
Deevy dedicated this play to “an April day,” as she was inspired to write it one sunny April afternoon. Come hear this “delicate and beautiful masterpiece ii,” a paean the possibilities—and heartbreak—of an April day
