I need people who I can count on to help keep my financial life on course so I can focus on creating and sharing the “adventures” of classical music. City National shares my passion and is instrumental in helping me bring classical music to audiences all over the world. They enjoy being a part of what I do and love. That is the essence of a successful relationship. City National is The way up® for me.

Within this particular context, this paper is intended to provide a general view on how a motif present in the source texts, i.e. the role of women, is transferred into the target plays.

Resumen El creciente interés que, en las dos últimas décadas, han suscitado los clásicos espa- ñoles en los traductores dramáticos británicos y estadounidenses ha impulsado la aparición de versiones en lengua inglesa pensadas exclusivamente para su puesta en escena. Dentro de este contexto, el presente artículo pretende analizar el tratamiento de uno de los motivos más recurrentes en los textos fuente: el papel de la mujer. El es- tudio de las traducciones muestra cómo el rol femenino puede ser potenciado o mini- mizado para ajustarlo a la cultura de llegada.
