«La Celestina» is the tragicomedy by Fernando de Rojas with a theatrical version by Luis García Montero, published by Maxi-Tusquets in paperback.
The work revolves around the loves of Calisto and Melibea and the intervention of Celestina, a matchmaker who weaves her own game of interests and deceptions. This theatrical version by Luis García Montero brings the classic text closer to the current stage and was published to commemorate the five hundred years since the first edition of the work.
The adaptation premiered at the Teatro Cervantes in Alcalá de Henares on May 8, 1999, directed by Joaquín Vida and with Nati Mistral in the role of Celestina. The edition belongs to the Fábula collection, number 119.
Recommended for students and readers of classics of Spanish literature, as well as for those who prefer theater in a modern version.
Fernando de Rojas was a Spanish author and dramatist, known for his only surviving work, La Celestina, first published in 1499. It is variously considered "the last work of the Spanish Middle Ages or the first work of the Spanish Renaissance".
