La peste gròga : $b Pessa còmica-burlesca, composta d'afagitons bosquetjats del natural, com á memoria de la fébre amarilla del any 1870

A lively, tongue‑in‑cheek tableau brings the streets of Palma in October 1870 to life, where the whisper of a mysterious “yellow plague” hangs over bustling market stalls, noisy carts, and half‑closed shop doors. The play follows a handful of colorful locals—an aging cobbler, a wandering coffee‑seller, a shopkeeper, a young physician and his elder counterpart—each delivering rapid, comedic banter that mixes gossip, superstition and a simmering sense of unease. Their dialogue paints a vivid picture of a city on edge, peppered with satire about politics, war and the daily grind, while the backdrop of looming illness adds an eerie, almost absurd tension.

The humor is rooted in the characters’ quirks and the bustling street scene, making the audience feel as though they’re wandering the same cobblestones, hearing the clatter of carts and the distant murmur of rumors. Listeners will be drawn into the theatrical rhythm and the vivid, period‑specific color of the dialogue, getting a taste of a community trying to keep its spirit afloat amid uncertainty.
