Synopsis
Book by Lynn Nottage
Press Reviews
"Lynn Nottage shines a revealing, fiercely imaginative beam on the French court in LAS MENINAS, her play about the illicit love affair between African servant Nabo Sensugali and Louis XIV’s wife, Queen Marie-Therese... Las Meninas is an irreverent reclamation of a fascinating piece of history."
— San Jose Mercury News
"The play is a mix of politics and really good royal dish. ‘French Queen Has Black Dwarf’s Baby’ would be a tabloid cover for the ages: Not even Fergie ever managed a scandal of such eloquent proportions."
— San Francisco Weekly
