A mature shoemaker has married a young and attractive girl. In reality, neither of them is pleased by such a marriage. While she is busy proclaiming for him his long list of suitors, he, in the tavern, laments for having married. The moment comes when the shoemaker must make a decision. A marriage of convenience and without true love and the struggle of a woman between reality and desire are the channels through which the play unfolds.

Federico García Lorca
Author · 58 books
Born in Fuente Vaqueros, Granada, Spain, June 5 1898; died near Granada, August 19 1936, García Lorca is one of Spain's most deeply appreciated and highly revered poets and dramatists. His murder by the Nationalists at the start of the Spanish civil war brought sudden international fame, accompanied by an excess of political rhetoric which led a later generation to question his merits; after the inevitable slump, his reputation has recovered (largely with a shift in interest to the less obvious works). He must now be bracketed with Machado as one of the two greatest poets Spain has produced in the 20th century, and he is certainly Spain's greatest dramatist since the Golden Age.
