Life Is a Dream

The masterwork of Spain's preeminent dramatist. It is a philosophical allegory regarding the human situation and the mystery of life. The story focuses on the fictional Segismundo, Prince of Poland, who has been imprisoned in a tower by his father, King Basilio, following a dire prophecy that the prince would bring disaster to the country and death to the King. Basilio briefly frees Segismundo, but when the prince goes on a rampage, the king imprisons him again, persuading him that it was all a dream. Richly symbolic and metaphorical, Life Is a Dream explores the deepest mysteries of human experience.
