IMPURE THOUGHTS (without apology)
by Ken Prestininzi
directed by Rebecca Engle
a new play about Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz
Poet, Playwright, Feminist (nun).
Brilliant mind. Brave misfit.
Sor Juana was a dazzling star in Baroque Mexico--a poet-playwright-scholar and nun with friends in high places. Then Church superiors demanded she renounce her writing life. In "Impure Thoughts," this brilliant woman's spiritual and political crisis unfolds through scenes of tense debate and tender affection, restless dreams and ecstatic visions. Before setting down her pen for good, Sor Juana answers her critics in "La Respuesta," a bold defense of women's freedom of intellect and conscience.
