The Magic Cave of Salamanca at the Fringe festival
22 August 2016 to 27 August 2016
Off World Productions brings an exciting, lively and colourful production based on the Interludes of Miguel Cervantes, including The Magic Cave of Salamanca. Written as diversionary pieces to be performed between the main acts of a play (truly fringe theatre), Cervantes’ interludes are comic gems in their own right.
As a genre, 'interludes' were generally disliked by the authorities because of their subversive potential, and those by Cervantes are no exception. For this reason, the Interludes were not performed in Cervantes' lifetime.
