La verbena de la Paloma; o, El boticario y las chulapas y celos mal reprimidos
"La verbena de la Paloma; o, El boticario y las chulapas y celos mal reprimidos" by Don Ricardo de la Vega is a lyrical farce written in the late 19th century. The play unfolds during the vibrant celebrations of the Verbena de la Paloma, a traditional fiesta in Madrid, capturing the lively atmosphere and social dynamics of the time. The story encapsulates themes of love, jealousy, and misunderstandings, set against the backdrop
of a festive summer night. The plot centers on the character Julián, a young man grappling with unrequited love for Susana, who seems to be enamored with the older Don Hilarión, a local pharmacist. Julián's jealousy ignites a series of comedic and chaotic events as he struggles to confront his feelings and his rival. Meanwhile, we also meet a colorful cast of characters, including the witty taberna owner Rita and the outspoken aunt Antonia, whose antics add to the comedic tension. The play ultimately paints a vivid portrait of romantic folly and community dynamics during the lively festivities, providing both humor and insight into the complexities of love and desire.
