Byline: NICHOLAS DE JONGH THERE HAVE been few occasions in my theatregoing life when I have been more comprehensively thrilled, moved or excited. Friedrich Schiller's classic tragedy of 16th-century Spain stirs a fatal brew of politics and sexual longing, libertarian urges and religious fanaticism.
