'La ternura'

The playwright and director Alfredo Sanzol has restored dignity to comedy written in Spanish. Last season he showed it in La Respiración and now returns to delight us with La Ternura, an Elizabethan piece of woodcutters and princesses, brilliant and ingenious, overflowing with humor and talent.

La Ternura is inspired by the best Shakespeare with clear references to The Tempest, Much Ado About Nothing o What You Will. In the hands of one of the best contemporary playwrights, winner of the National Prize for Dramatic Literature and a Max Award, this romantic comedy tells the story of a queen who hates men because they have always conditioned her life and removed the freedom of her two daughters.

All three fall on a desert island in which they hope never to see a man again in their life, with the bad luck that on that island live a lumberjack and his two sons who fled there to never see a woman again in their life.
