Celebrating its 30th anniversary, Teatro Círculo presents 'El alcalde de Zalamea' (The Mayor of Zalamea).
When a father’s love meets military abuse, justice becomes a deadly weapon. This version of Calderón de la Barca's classical masterpiece is set during the invasion of Puerto Rico by the US Army in 1898 and explores the moral challenges of a wealthy peasant, Pedro Crespo, whose daughter, Isabel is attacked by a Captain of the Spanish Army. When Pedro Crespo is elected the Mayor of Zalamea, he finds himself in a position of power, able to avenge his daughter. Will he do it?
