Los bellos durmientes

Los bellos durmientes (The sleeping beauties) is a theater play by Antonio Gala, premiered in 1994.

Argument

Diana and Claudio are a successful couple: young, handsome, triumphants and ambitious. They have experienced the success in their professional life, but in their private sphere they find themselves empty, in a lethargy. Until they meet Marcos, who has a completely opposite view of life to theirs. Nieves, Diana's mother, will join to that catharsis they've just begun, and that will lead them to find their own inner reality.

  • Director: Miguel Narros.
  • Performers: Amparo Larrañaga (Diana), María Luisa Merlo (Nieves), Eusebio Poncela (Marcos), Carlos Lozano (Claudio).
