MARIA LUISA

Juan Mayorga

Translated by Mester Yvonne

Maria Luisa is an old, proud woman living alone, who tries in an unusual way to seize life's pleasures until it is too late. Surrounded by her friend Angelines and a ring of mysterious men (including a doorman, a poet and an army officer), she indulges in small adventures and pranks.

A touching yet highly entertaining play about the ageing process, balancing independence and loneliness, eternal longing and an unconditional love of life.

Juan Mayorga, a Spaniard, graduated as a teacher of mathematics and philosophy before taking up playwriting. He is an extremely prolific author, whose works are performed all over the world. On stage, the boundaries between the physical world and the soaring imagination are blurred.
