Their work with the play aims to bring this 17th century, little known, honour play to a modern audience.
‘A Secreto Agravio, Secreta Venganza’ follows the Inspectors Delgado and Ferrer investigating the appearance of a body in the Port of Lisbon. Following interrogations and revelations, all signs point to the Portuguese Nobleman, Don Lope de Almeida, whose wife died in a terrible fire mere days before the appearance of the corpse. Along with the two Inspectors, the audience go on a journey of discovery to find the awful truth behind the terrible crimes guided by a narrator who incorporates the musical genre, Fado, into their telling of the facts and consequences of this tragic story.
