The Florida State University School of Theatre presents

The Sins of Sor Juana
by Karen Zacarías

LAB THEATRE

Under the eye of the Mexican Inquisition, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz is a faithful postulate. But as a poet, Sor Juana preaches passion and defiance. When her feminist philosophies influence the wives of the elite, powerful men recruit a well-known rogue to tame Sor Juana once and for all. Their ensuing battle crackles with wit, fury, and romance… but in the end, who will surrender? Inspired by the real life of Latinidad’s pioneering 17th-century poet, Karen Zacarias’ award-winning play proves that well-behaved women rarely make history.
