Meet 5 dynamic women, all looking for love (or avoiding it) in 1780’s Madrid!
Having run out of his “stock of love-tales,” Don Carlos has left Victoria, his wife of two years –– and went to Madrid, where he’s now courting Donna Laura. Carlos rashly signed the deed for his lands (well, his wife’s lands) over to Laura… and realizes, now that she’s found a new beau, he should get them back. But there’s more to Laura’s new love, Florio, than meets the eye...
Donna Olivia, Victoria’s cousin, is Madrid’s most eligible bachelorette –– or would be, if she would stop scaring off her suitors. Her rich father, Don Caesar, is determined to have a male heir to secure the future of his lands… and threatens to marry his neighbor’s daughter, Marcella, if Olivia won’t get married herself. With the help of her maid Minette, Olivia schemes to determine if she can find a man who loves her without the influence of her money.
Run Time: Approximately 2 hours 20 minutes with a 15-minute intermission.
