Escurial
by Lionel Abel, Michel de Ghelderode
Highlights
Synopsis
Set in a room in the palace of Spain that has a despairing sense of decay and total collapse of the kingdom and all it stands for, this play is provocative as well as devastating.
The portrait is El Greco; the message is of a dark and ominous absurdity in the crystal realization of the clown's dying and king's sense that he is an end in himself and lucky in death to escape the hounds.
