A Castro

A Castro is a classic Portuguese tragedy by António Ferreira, adapted and modernized by Júlio Dantas. Based on the true story of Inês de Castro, a noblewoman murdered for her love affair with Prince Pedro, this play explores themes of love, duty, and political intrigue in the 16th-century Portuguese court. Ferreira's work is a cornerstone of Portuguese Renaissance literature, blending classical dramatic structure with a poignant national narrative. Dantas's adaptation brings this historical tragedy to a modern audience, retaining the emotional power and exploring enduring themes of justice and sacrifice.
