THE DOG IN THE MANGER: TO EAT… AND LET EAT
Beyond its glorious verse form, The Dog in the Manger is a comedy about a woman who has created a kingdom of her own. Countess Diana of Belflor is the mistress of this small world, visited by suitors whom she rejects, wary of marriage and its rules, until jealousy takes hold of her. When she learns that her secretary, Teodoro, is courting Marcela, one of her ladies in waiting, she reveals herself to be a skillful schemer of intrigues, ultimately ending up as the one who marries Teodoro.
