At first in WSG’s irresistible comedy, Sofonisba Anguissola (Amanda Tudor) is under interrogation. The stern but in his own eyes fair Bishop Espinoza (Peter Boyer) is gauging her possible fitness as a lady-in-waiting to Queen Isabel (O’Malley Steuerman) at the 16th-century Spanish court of the Catholic Philip II (Gabriel Alejandro). Philip, who once was married to the late Queen Mary, sister of Elizabeth I, now has a teenage French Queen who will need sensitive attendants.
