An adaptation of Calderon de la Barca's famous play, adapted for the 2014 EagerRisk Theatre Season of Magical Realism.

"Eager Risk Theater's adaptation Life is a Dream is a haunting take on the classic that awakens the drama for a new audience.... Playing with the theme of dreams and finding the lines of reality, Life is a Dream is an adaptation of the modern age. Playwright Annie R. Such does an impeccable job at storytelling. Such breathes life into her adaptation. It’s likely you may not know the story and Such does a strong job allowing the tale to flow naturally. For the most part, the heightened language feels natural off the modern tongue. Thankfully for Such, the characters of her play fit common archetypes with clear cut objectives. Still, she finds nuances that make them feel fresh. With a piece that spans multiple acts, Such is smart by condensing it in a brisk one act while maintaining Calderon de la Barca’s integrity."
