On The Mayor of Zalamea: 'Adrian Mitchell's translation into various verse forms is spectacular'
Spectator
-
Adrian Mitchell's version of the multi-toned tragi-comedy is something of a revelation. For it shows that Calderon can be done into English with the kind of fluency (and fun) which we might expect from our own Jacobean playwrights - and with a flavour all his own
Daily Telegraph
-
A blazing masterpiece
