El perro del hortelano

Two technicians from a company, with no actors for the performance, stage 'El perro del hortelano', the comedy by Lope de Vega, with the help of two local actresses. A theatrical proposal that stems from a real setback.

The performance was due to be carried out by a company, but a mistake prevented it from taking place: the rest of the team had travelled to Lugo to stage 'Divinas palabras'. Faced with this, two technicians decided to put the play on stage themselves, with two local actresses who know the text. The proposal rests on that premise: the technicians know the whole show from beginning to end, unlike the actors, who only know their own parts.

The production is recreated and directed by Paco Mir, and the cast includes Amparo Marín, Manuel Monteagudo, Paqui Montoya and Moncho Sánchez-Diezma. The play is by Lope de Vega and is presented as a recreation of the piece, with the improvised tone that the production's own premise suggests.

The show takes place at the Ateneu de Cerdanyola, in Cerdanyola del Vallès. It is a proposal designed for local theatre audiences and for anyone who wants to see a reading of Lope de Vega from an unexpected situation.
