Stage Review: Calderon classic 'Constant Prince' given a heroic try
Post Gazette: "So it is a treat for Unseam'd Shakespeare and visiting director/translator Rick Davis to give us a heroic tragedy by Calderon (1600-81), one of the great dramatists of the Spanish Golden Age. 'The Constant Prince' (1629) not only portrays a hero in language that is grander and more fulsome than modern taste; it even locates that heroism in a self-sacrifice undertaken on behalf of values that are largely repellent in their bigoted self-assurance."
