Los bellos durmientes

Los bellos durmientes (The sleeping beauties) is a theater play by Antonio Gala, premiered in 1994.

Argument

Diana and Claudio are a successful couple: young, handsome, triumphants and ambitious. They have experienced the success in their professional life, but in their private sphere they find themselves empty, in a lethargy. Until they meet Marcos, who has a completely opposite view of life to theirs. Nieves, Diana's mother, will join to that catharsis they've just begun, and that will lead them to find their own inner reality.

In the Teatro Coliseum of Santander on August 18, 1994.

• Director: Miguel Narros.
• Performers: Amparo Larrañaga (Diana), María Luisa Merlo (Nieves), Eusebio Poncela (Marcos), Carlos Lozano (Claudio).
