This book, a collection of short plays and theatrical scenes, draws upon the spirit of Nineteenth Century Spanish street life, featuring early 20th Century characters in this snapshot of a bygone way of life. Each playlet is rich with local color and insights into the daily lives of working-class Spaniards. In the first short play, rich with vivid imagery and Madrid's unique slang, we follow Andrea as she wrangles with her sister Encarna, who has left her family to pursue the lure of wealth and excitement in the city. The underlying theme of familial tension and the clash between ambition and tradition echo throughout the other pieces. In another sharp piece, not dissimilar from a dramatic poem, an aging Don attempts to win the affections of a much younger woman, with disastrous consequences. Bold and tragic, with moments of macabre humor, these well-developed characters embody human folly and male frailty. These plays, by turns uproarious and touching, critical and nostalgic, stand as a monument to the people of Madrid at a specific historical moment, brilliantly capturing their spirit, speech and worldview for generations to come.
