Critical response

María José Rague Arías in El Mundo reviews a production that took place on 24 April 1996. She did not like the fact that cross-dressing was parodied rather than being treated seriously and that the actor playing Pedro was over-emphasising the homosexual element (Arías 1996).

Details
Director: Aitana Galán
Dates: 9 January 2002
Venue: Sala Cuarta Pared
Location: Madrid, Spain
Critical response

Javier Villán gives the production a favourable review and notes that the play still has the power to shock conservative audiences (Villán 2002).

Further information

In this production the director chose to minimise staging and props, omitting the kitchen area, doors and shelves described in the text. The audience sat around the stage area – which consisted of the couple’s bedroom – thus becoming more involved in the action.
