The Noble Spanish Soldiery

As the King becomes a tyrant, a faction of courtiers grows against him, led by the Duke of Medina, the Cardinal, and the eponymous noble soldier, Balthazar

Meanwhile, Queen Paulina and her evil henchman Malateste plot to kill Onelia and her son. Filled with powerful dramatic moments of violence, pathos, satire and humour, The Noble Spanish Soldier is an under-performed and under-studied Renaissance play that deserves wider appreciation
