Now playing at La Villarroel, Morning Sun by Simon Stephens is a production directed by Pau Roca and starring Míriam Iscla, Anna Güell, and Raquel Ferri. Produced by Sixto Paz and La Villarroel, the play offers a deeply human portrait of the passage of time, life in the city, and the complexities of family relationships. It sheds light on the invisibility of women in a society that gradually stops paying attention to them as they grow older. The play takes its title from the celebrated painting by Edward Hopper, an artist renowned for capturing the loneliness of urban American life like no other.
The extraordinary performances by Míriam Iscla, Anna Güell, and Raquel Ferri have already won over both audiences and critics alike, with the production being widely praised as an absolutely essential piece of theatre.
Morning Sun is, ultimately, a celebration of the extraordinary journey of being an “ordinary” woman.
