1. Our list of the dramatis personae comes from the first printed edition, dated 1615, with some editorial modifications. We have regularized Zara’s name, included the Sexton’s name, and inserted the two characters not found in the original list that appears in the play: Julio and the Boat Captain.
2. This “Lady Catalina” is usually identified as Catalina Hernández Verdeseca, a famous contemporary actress, who was the wife of the theater manager and actor Gaspar de Porres.
