A review by leelulah
El Gran Teatro del Mundo by Pedro Calderón de la Barca
4.0
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.
