Don Cristóbal es un adinerado bruto y malencarado, siempre con la cachiporra en mano, que busca una chica joven y guapa para desposarla (casarse con ella). Sus deseos coinciden con los de la madre de Doña Rosita, que aspira a encontrar un buen pretendiente para su hija. Llegados a ese punto, ambos acuerdan llevar a término sus fines, para desgracia del resto de personajes. Rosita, sin embargo, logra engañar a su ya marido y tiene encuentros con sus amantes, hasta dar a luz a cinco hijos, que reclama que son de Don Cristóbal. Éste, enfurecido, la emprende a golpe de porra con madre e hija. Pero ese será solo el principio de una larga trama de despropósitos, cachiporrazos y gritos.

Federico García Lorca
Author · 76 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.
