The early 16th-century playwright Gil Vicente is often spoken of as the father of Portuguese theatre and his writing as a bridge between the morality plays of the middle ages and the start of modern drama. Certainly, these two farces - The Play of India, dating from 1509, and 1523's Ines Pereira - do seem startlingly modern. In part, this is because the easy-on-the-ear, if rather crude, translations and adaptations make plenty of 21st-century references, but also because, in 500 years, human nature hasn't changed very much.

In The Play of India, set in Lisbon, the street life of the port city and its expanding colonial dreams are mercilessly guyed, and an unfaithful wife discovers that her returning husband is not quite the man she thought.

Ines Pereira features another free-thinking heroine, a young woman with determined views about what makes a good husband. When her first marriage turns out less than idyllic, she sets about ensuring that her second is more to her liking. Both plays are fascinating for the way they show smart women calling the shots.

But they would be rather more interesting if they got classier productions. Leopard Productions offers distinctly student standards, failing to sort the good directorial decisions from the bad (why do we get somebody's holiday video projected on to a white sheet?). The standard of acting is, at best, average and, in some cases, abysmal. Attempts to add a physical dimension to the production fail entirely because the actors have few of the necessary skills. Prancing about prettily is just not enough. Sadly, of interest only to die-hard Portuguese theatre fans and the parents and friends of those involved.
