Romulus Linney directed Spain in its premiere at the Theater for the New City in April 1993.  In this production only the first two plays, Torquemada and Anna Rey, were included.  The third part, Escobedo de la Aixa, was staged in 2000, when it premiered as Mad Men at the Ensemble Studio Theatre’s Marathon of One-Act Plays.
