Don Ranudo de Colibrados eli Köyhyys ja Ylpeys: Komedia viidessä näytöksessä

Set in a bustling provincial town of 19th‑century Spain, the play follows the proud yet impoverished noble family of Don Ranudo de Colibrados and their beautiful daughter, Donna Maria. When the charismatic aristocrat Gontsolo de las Minas arrives, he declares an impossible love for Maria, sparking a clash between his ambitions and the family’s haughty reputation. The dialogue crackles with witty banter as Gontsolo’s sister Isabella and the household staff weigh in, offering both counsel and comic relief.

Through a series of rapid‑fire exchanges, the story sketches a vivid portrait of a society obsessed with lineage and wealth, while exposing the absurdities of pride that keep lovers apart. Listeners will be drawn into the swirling mix of romantic yearning, sly scheming, and the colorful personalities that animate the household—from the loyal servant Gusman to the sharp‑tongued notary—setting the stage for a lively comedy of errors that promises both laughter and reflection.
