There will always be a deficiency in any translation from the original language. (I can't imagine how bland Shakespeare would seem in Italian!) Lope de Vega is one of the great Spanish playwrights and fortunately this translation does him good service. Although "Fuente Ovejuna" was not that impressive, I found The Knight from Olmedo excellent. The humor was outstanding and well paced considering the tragedy at the end. A gem of a play and reminiscent of Plautus. "Punishment Without Revenge" was an Aeschylian Greek tragedy with fate as the unmentioned principle actor. Another good drama. This selection was worthwhile and I look forward to reading more of de Vega's work. A prolific master.
