The Labyrinth of Desire
Sept 29-Oct 1, 2023
in the Baker Theatre
In Caridad Svich's contemporary queer adaptation of Lope de Vega's Spanish Golden Age comedy La Prueba de los Ingenios, high-stakes telenovela glamor meets classical romantic calamity. An honest-to-goodness gender nonbinary romantic lead goes undercover, and gets way more than they bargained for! A ravishing heroine and a suave hero both learn that love and sex aren't as clear-cut as they thought! Intuition! Infatuation! Betrayal! And a sly challenge to the boundaries of fluidity and desire...

Content Advisory:
This is not a play about suicide. However, the play starts with a melodramatic exclamation related to suicidal ideations, a rhetorical device that occurs a few more times in the play. Though no character appears seriously intent on self-harm, we acknowledge the impact that this topic has had and could have on LGBTQ audiences and ensemble members. This play is for trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming folks to see a glimpse of a brighter, more inclusive future.
