Una de las mejores obras de teatro jamás escritas. El verso está tan lleno de sutilezas y complejidades que vale la pena leer la obra (aunque obviamente tambié  es una maravilla representada). Pero sobretodo, es una obra bellísima, no solo estéticamente, sino con esa belleza profunda que tienen las cosas verdaderas y buenas. 

Esta edición, la de Enrique Rull, está muy bien comentada y editada, es la que recomiendo.

Una obra de teatro donde nos muestran algo así como la creación del mundo y a su vez como fueron asignados los papeles de las personas durante el transcurso de su vida, sus ocupaciones y estrato social. Estuvo interesante pero normal.

La misma incomodidad que escuchar a un miembro del Opus Dei intentando contar un chiste de putas sin mencionar la palabra puta. Durante 3000 versos.

This was almost as good as Life is a Dream, but not as good. It has a nice message to it

Good Catholic, faith oriented play. Calderón de la Barca argues, much in the medieval tradition, that all things come to an end, that God chooses our role, and judges us accordingly, that poor and rich are more intertwined than the later would think, that worldly conceptions of beauty end up in vanity, and that power in this world doesn't necessarily mean you'll keep it in the next. The part where they're invited to adore the Bread of Life they don't have a need to eat anymore is of special significance and I'd say this work is wonderfully done. The unjust reality of the world is due to free will, as so is the good that men can do. Whether people hear the Law of God, it sure makes a difference.

Me hubiese encantado presenciar este espectáculo en persona porque, dejando de lado la temática religiosa, tuvo que haber sido algo maravilloso, con todos los efectos, la escenografía, etc. Imagino que para la época esto tuvo que haber sido increíble.
