English The Two Lovers of Heaven: Chrysanthus and Daria A Drama of Early Christian Rome Produced by Dennis McCarthy "The Two Lovers of Heaven: Chrysanthus and Daria" by Pedro Calderón de la Barca is a dramatic work from the late 17th century, set against the backdrop of early Christian Rome. The play revolves around the intertwined destinies of its titular characters, Chrysanthus and Daria, whose profound love faces challenges not only from societal norms but also from the spiritual realm, as their dedication to faith and love leads them to martyrdom. The opening of the drama introduces Chrysanthus as a contemplative figure engrossed in reading a book that delves into complex theological concepts. His inner turmoil becomes evident as he grapples with the mysteries of faith and existence, engaging in a philosophical dialogue represented by two spirits who symbolize conflicting thoughts. Soon after, Daria, a priestess of Diana, enters and the two engage in a courtship steeped in questions of love and sacrifice. Their exchange reveals Daria's condition that she would only love someone who dies for her, thus setting the stage for the unfolding themes of devotion and martyrdom. As the characters navigate their attraction amidst the societal pressures and dangers of their environment, the groundwork for a poignant exploration of love's trials and triumphs is laid.
