SYNTHESIS OF THE PLAY A commedy of manners divided in three acts whose principle characters, the bachelor Kalixto, a cobbler, and his young official, Pello, are always involved in continuous disputes, owed in part to the generation gap and in part to their respective plans to get Mirentxu, the beauty of the village, for Pello, and to favour Kalixto's lucrative interests, who has given word that for an amount of money will find a girl-friend for the simple souled Koldo. But nerther the arts of the one nor the dishonesty of the other will give the results they want, though they will serve for the mutual unmasking of their unethical methods. |
