Synopsis: | Most performers appreciate the benefits of a captive audience. It becomes considerably harder if the crowd is actually condemned. Paulino and Carmela are a comedy double act stranded behind fascist lines during the Spanish civil war, and compelled to improvise an anti-republican pantomime for an audience of prisoners due to be executed at dawn. | |||||

Synopsis: | When a couple of music hall artistes end up in enemy territory during the Spanish Civil War they have to perform in front of Franco`s troops and Republican prisoners. One is more willing than the other and the clashes of taste and political attitude make for comic entertainment with a sting in the tail. Despite its cast of just two actors, Paulino and Carmela, Sanchis Sinisterra`s play has proved to be popular all around Latin America, as well as Italy, Germany and Britain. Carlos Saura made a film of it. "a rich cocktail of verse, prose, singing and dancing." the Stage "an absorbing play which blends in a classic manner uproarious farce with deep tragedy." Morning Star. | |||||

Synopsis: | Vaudeville double act Carmela and Paulino are captured by Franco s forces during the Spanish Civil War. Compelled to put on a show for the fascist army, they rehearse their material - music, songs, flamenco dances, and bizarre comedy sketches. But then, how can Carmela be dead? Ay Carmela! is a darkly hilarious and poignant testimonial to the brutal futility of war, which movingly reveals the failure of the living to learn from the dead. Funny, poetic and elegant, Steve Trafford s new translation brings Sinisterra s wonderful text vividly to life. | |||||

Synopsis: | An intellectual down on his luck is employed to read novels to the blind daughter of a rich man. The texts by Durrell, Lampedusa, Conrad, Flaubert, Schnitzler and Rulfo he reads to her begin to uncover secrets both would prefer to keep hidden. Yet neither of them can see clearly what is occurring. . . . A game of relationships thus develops between the three characters, where the reader becomes a battlefield where father and daughter can fight their wars. The ending, however, remains open: the readers departure closes the play but not the conflicts between the characters. . . . | |||||
