TER INLEIDING.
VOETNOTEN:
In this lively medieval drama a proud duke from Brussels finds his world turned upside‑down when he encounters the spirited daughter of a Roedelian nobleman. Their chance meeting sparks a witty battle of words and wit, as both characters grapple with the expectations of rank, honor, and the sudden pull of love. The play’s dialogue crackles with the sharp humor and clever repartee that make the conflict feel fresh even to modern ears.
Set against a backdrop of courtly intrigue and bustling townsfolk, the story unfolds in a series of vibrant scenes that blend romance with a touch of satire. As the duke’s resolve is tested, the audience is drawn into a charming exploration of pride, duty, and the irresistible force of attraction. Listeners will enjoy the rich medieval flavor, the vivid character sketches, and the timeless tension between heart and heritage.
