“The black legend in these dwindling days is the History of Spain”.
The play narrates the last 24 hours in the life of Max Estrella, a “hyperbolic Andalusian poet of odes and madrigals” now old, miserable and blind, who at some point did enjoy a certain degree of recognition. In his wanderings through a dark, shady and sordid Madrid, accompanied by Don Latino de Hispalis, a number of characters from the bohemian Madrid of the time give their riposte.
The play becomes a tragic parable of a warped, unjust and oppressive country, such as Spain in 1920, debased, intolerant of the common people and fraught with corruption. A grotesque society that reminds us all too much of today.
