[Manuel Alfonseca · Rating 3 out of 5]

ESPAÑOL: Esta es la primera vez que veo esta obra (que se representó hace años en Estudio 1 de RTVE), aunque la había estudiado en el bachillerato, en Historia de la Literatura.

Durante la guerra de ochenta años por la independencia de Flandes, en tiempos de Felipe II, un capitán español herido tiene que abandonar su tercio, se casa con una chica flamenca, con la que tiene un hijo, y se siente zarandeado por su pertenencia simultánea a las dos sociedades en conflicto.

ENGLISH: This is the first time I've seen this play (which was performed years ago at Spanish TV Program Estudio 1), although I had studied it in high school, in The History of Literature.

During the eighty-year war for the independence of Flanders, in the time of Philip II, a wounded Spanish captain must leave his Tercio, marries a Flemish girl, with whom he has a son, and feels shaken by his simultaneous belonging to the two conflicting societies.
