Publisher's Synopsis
El Cerrojazo is a one-act comedic play by SerafÃ-n and JoaquÃ-n Álvarez Quintero, first published in 1916. This short, delightful entremés captures the brothers' signature style, blending humor and insightful observations of Spanish society. Known for their prolific output and collaborations, the Quintero brothers were masters of the género chico, a form of short, light theatrical entertainment popular in Spain. "El Cerrojazo" exemplifies their skill in crafting engaging dialogues and relatable characters within a concise narrative. This play remains a charming example of early 20th-century Spanish comedic drama, offering a glimpse into the social dynamics and theatrical tastes of the era.
