Calderon's Two Dreams" is a presentation of both versions Pedro Calderon de la Barca's masterpiece "Life is a Dream".

Calderon’s first iteration of the play, written in 1635, deals with questions of freedom and choice in a confusing reality. As his career soared, he felt the need to go deeper into his own spirit, he completely re-wrote it to examine deeper questions. In "Life is a Dream" (1677), the setting changes to the court of the universe. The central question of the earlier version “will this prince be a fitting ruler?” now becomes “is the human being a fitting caretaker of the universe?”
