The Cid
This specific production does not yet have a description, but the play itself does:
The play is set in Seville, the capital of Andalucia in southern Spain. Don Fernando, the King, to deter attempts by the newly expelled Moors to regain their lost province, has moved his court south.
The King’s right hand man and commander of his armies is the Count, Don Gomez. The King is to choose a tutor for his son and the Count takes it for granted that this position of honour will be given to him.
Don Gomez’s daughter. Chimena, is pursued by a number of young men but is in love with only one; Don Rodrigo. Don Rodrigo’s father, Don Diego, once occupied the same position as Chimena’s father. He is proud of his past and expects much of his only son.
The King’s daughter, the Infanta, has been encouraging the growing love between Chimena and Don Rodrigo for her own private reasons.
