About the author
Serafín Álvarez Quintero was a Spanish dramatist born in Utrera, Seville, on March 26, 1871. He is most often remembered alongside his younger brother Joaquín Álvarez Quintero, with whom he formed one of the best-known writing partnerships in modern Spanish theater.
Together, the brothers produced nearly 200 plays, winning lasting popularity for comedies and stage works that drew on the language, customs, and everyday rhythms of Andalusia. Their writing was especially associated with Madrid theater audiences, and Serafín became an important literary figure in his own right.
He died in Madrid on April 12, 1938. Today, his name remains closely linked with the long and unusually successful collaboration that made the Quintero brothers a familiar part of Spanish dramatic history.
