About
Las Meninas
by Lynn Nottage
University of Maryland - Baltimore County
Set in the glittering court of Louis XIV, Las Meninas tells the true story of the seduction of Queen Marie-Thérèse and the consequences of her scandalous affair with Nabo Sensugali, her African servant. Irreverent and ironic, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lynn Nottage shines a fiercely imaginative beam on a fascinating but forgotten bit of history that reveals contemporary truths about the racial divide. This performance contains mature themes.
Performance Timing: Approximately 2 hours, 15 minutes, with one intermission.
