Description

In a tiny village shop that doubles as the local apothecary, the everyday bustle turns into a lively comedy of misunderstandings. The proprietor, a quick‑witted but slightly harried man, is constantly juggling requests for strange remedies, home improvements, and the ever‑present pressure of keeping his customers satisfied.

The cast gathers around the counter—Pere, a cautious patron worried about the cost of renovations; Blay, ever‑eager to sell his basil‑infused ointments; Jaume, the nervous youngster clutching a mysterious plaster; and the ever‑talkative Sisa, whose gossip fuels the chatter. Their banter crackles with rapid Catalan wit as they haggle over prices, argue about painted walls, and try to untangle a web of family obligations that threaten to spill over into the shop.

Rendered in a single, brisk act, the play captures the charm of provincial life with sharp dialogue and a playful rhythm. Listeners will be drawn into the colorful exchange of words, the absurd yet relatable dilemmas, and the warm humor that makes even a simple pharmacy feel like a stage for theatrical mischief.
