Description

In a bustling 19th‑century Barcelona inn, the stage is cramped with numbered rooms, a cracked window, and a central table that bears the weight of late‑night conversations. Don Diego, a seasoned gentleman, and his loyal servant Simón spar over a secret mission that has kept them holed up from dusk to dawn. Their banter, laced with humor and a hint of intrigue, immediately draws the listener into a world where duty clashes with desire.

The heart of the drama revolves around a young woman, praised for her innocence, talent, and modesty, whose future is being quietly negotiated by powerful relatives. Parents and guardians cling to the notion of a “yes” that safeguards virtue and financial security, while whispers of a marriage plot stir both hope and unease. As the characters navigate expectations, loyalty, and hidden agendas, the audience is left anticipating how far the conspirators will go to secure that coveted consent.

Leandro Fernández de Moratín

1760–1828

A sharp-eyed dramatist of Spain’s Enlightenment, he used comedy to challenge bad education, social pressure, and arranged marriage. Best known for El sí de las niñas, he wrote plays that are witty, humane, and still easy to connect with.
