a spanish farce
excellentendeavor by one of Spain's top writer'sand Pulitzer Prize winners, JACINTO BENEVETAA wonderful farce in the true tradition of the Italian style picaresque.However, one must be quite fluent in the Spanish idiom and have a keen appreciation for this type of literature.Best bet for those who fall short on the idiom aspectis to buy the dual text format,which will enhance your enjoyment of the farce.

Very Pleased

Here you have the mummer of the iritjqiiR farce who enlivened in the country inns the hard-earned leisure of the carter, who made the simple rustics gape with wonder in the square of every rural town and village, who in the populous cities drew about him great bewildering assemblages, as in Paris where Tabarin set up his scaffold on the Pont-Neuf and challenged the attention of the passers-by, from the learned doctor pausing a moment on his solemn errand to smooth out the wrinkles on his brow at some merry quip of old-time Jarce, to the light-hearted cutpurse who there whiled away his hours of ease as he cheated his hunger with a smile, to prelate and noble dame and great grandee in stately carriages, soldier and merchant and student and maid. Men of every rank and condition shared in the rejoicing—men who were never brought together in any other way—the grave laughing to see the laughter of the gay rather than at the wit of the farce, the wise with the foolish, the poor with the rich, so staid and formal in their ordinary aspect, and the rich to see the poor laugh, their consciences a little easier at ... ...

Relationship between a daughter and stepfather
Spain's most popular dramatist, Jacinto (1866-1954) grew up wealthy, educated and sociable.La Malquerida (the Misbeloved) written in 1913 is more known as The Passion Flower.His international reputation won him a Nobel Prize in 1922.But it is said that after that, his work declined.

The Passion Flower was first produced on Broadway in 1920, and unfortunately, but expectedly, the cast was all white.The three-act play is a tragedy takes place on a rich farmhouse. This play, although very well-done, offers few stage directions or very little character descriptions.

The play is heavy on lengthy dialogue and focuses on the tragedy that occurred as a result of the relationship between a young woman, Acacia, and her stepfather, Esteban, who she despises, but he carries a secret passion for her.

The mother, Raimunda, has long been remarried to Esteban, who has always cared for his new stepdaughter, Acacia.It is a known fact that he has treated her special.Acacia has been in love with her cousin Norbert and that relationship ended abruptly and with mystery to the village.Now, Acacia is set to marry Faustino.Then, Faustino is murdered and the village suspects Norbert.

This play would be interesting on stage, however, it is critical that the actors be Spanish if on an American stage.However, there is a videotape Spanish language only version of the play.The videotape is located as part of an anthology of Spanish literature........MzRizz
