Abstract |
Set in Spain in 1868 during the monarchy of Queen Anne, the beautiful Luisa Fernanda is courted by a wealthy landowner Vidal. But Luisa can't forget her first love, Javier, now a colonel in the Royal Hussars. She is devastated when Javier is courted by the duchess Carolina, and so agrees to marry Vidal. Uncertainty reigns as all are divided between the revolutionaries and the monarchy; the surprising outcome is not revealed until the final moments of the play. |
