Rapid Productions – New Spanish Playwriting Season III
On/From Debris Des(de) Los Escombros
By María Prado
Translated by Simon Breden
I’m young. Well not so young (at my age my grandmother, my mother had done.. had..). Still I consider myself young. I try to imagine myself in four of five years time. The image is blurry, changing, confused. I talk over and over again to my (still) young friends, obsessing over progress…. to where ? Because things should get better shouldn’t they ? That’s what they taught me. The milkmaid dropping her milk pail in the children’s story hurts me.
This is a Cervantes Theatre Rapid Production:
Friday 24th May 2019 7.30pm in Spanish, Saturday 25th May 2019 7.30pm in English
Ticket Prices: £15 / £12 concs
The Old Masters Los Viejos Maestros
By Eva Hibernia
Translated by Clare Nimmo
Five people, two women and three men, meet at a campsite by the sea. Within 24 hours, everything surfaces, the miracle of love, passion, seduction and the desire for money. Malena and the old man, Professor Boyer, have arrived at the site as a final stop in the shipwreck of their voyage together with the secret aim of selling the site.
Malena’s beauty and magnetism relieve the boredom for Iván and for Miquel, the village doctor. For her part, Sofia, the niece who survived the 11M terrorist attacks, taking refuge in this corner of the world and, in love with the doctor, watches these people search for each other and repel each other in a game in which she can’t participate. Who are these old masters and what can they teach her ? What are we ready to risk when life throws us her final opportunity ?
This is a Cervantes Theatre Rapid Production:

The easiest way to keep in touch with news from the Cervantes Theatre is to join our newsletter
The Cervantes Theatre stages numerous Spanish language plays throughout the year from both Spanish and Latin American playwrights. The productions are performed in Spanish on Monday-Tuesday, and in English Wednesday-Saturday. Our weekly Tuesday matinees are ideal for school groups wishing to visit our 88 seat venue.
All schools who wish to be involved with the programme will be provided with our educational pack a few weeks before the trip, which includes information on our current production and interactive workshops which can be carried out in class either before or after seeing the play.
Visits also include a pre or post-show talk with a member of the creative team, who will talk about the creative process and discuss issues surrounding the play.
