“Time moves so fast
That if you’re always alert,
You might witness a woman
Metamorphosise before your eyes”

A woman's fiancé does not recognise her. To satisfy his desires, she creates an alter-ego to fulfil his fantasy of the perfect woman.

NowNow Theatre presents the English-language world premiere of Tirso de Molina’s ‘Jealous of Herself’ in association with the ETC. This new adaptation by Sarah Grunnah (inspired by Harley Erdman's translation) engages with themes of female objectification, the projection of male fantasy, and the dichotomy between dreamer and dreamed, all set in the labyrinthine streets of 17th century Madrid.
