This volume brings together four long out-of-print Honig translations: Secret Vengeance for Secret Insult, Devotion to the Cross, The Phantom Lady, and The Mayor of Zalamea, joined by the ever popular Life is a Dream and the newly translated, never before published version of The Crown of Absalom. Six Plays will make Calderons work available to a new generation of readers.[Honigs] versions of Spanish plays are conceived with performance in mind and have always proved stage worthy.
