    • It's an old story. But what gives the tale a special kick in this Lope De Vega comedy, which gets the RSC's Spanish season off to an exhilarating start, is that the boss in question is a Naples-based countess who falls for her righthand man. It's rather like seeing Webster's The Duchess of Malfi played for laughs. Class propels the action but Lope's real theme is the capriciousness of desire. The love of haughty Diana for her secretary, Teodoro, is only sparked when she catches him redhanded with one of her ladies-inwaiting - and she spends much of the subsequent action in a state of spiritual dither.

    For his part, Teodoro rushes between the mistress and the maid like a flustered commuter.

    One hilarious scene, where he tries to leave for Spain while rooted to the spot, even reminds one of the endlessly protracted exit of the rozzers in The Pirates of Penzance. At times you feel Lope is wringing the situation almost dry. But the comedy is sustained by the notion that all love is a form of madness.
