Notes: | Original Playwright - Victor Hugo | |||||
Set in 17th century Spain, Victor Hugo's 'Ruy Blas' is named after its low-born hero, forced to masquerade as an aristocrat as part of his master's revenge against the Queen. Noble in heart, Ruy Blas soon proves a champion to the poor and all but wins what he most wants in the world: the Queen herself. | ||||||
