El Regalo

Piedad and Delfina, two women with very different outlooks on life, find themselves caught up in an outlandish plan that forces them to rethink what happiness and personal fulfilment mean in El Regalo, at Espacio Alma.

El Regalo follows Piedad, who has been married for years and is the mother of a teenage son. Her life is stable, although routine has dulled the enthusiasm she once felt. Delfina, by contrast, is single and very demanding: she dreams of finding the ideal partner to form a perfect family, but her search never ends, because no candidate ever meets her expectations.

Piedad, who knows the demands of family life first-hand, tries to show Delfina that perfection rarely matches what it appears to be. Amid tangles and unexpected situations, the two end up caught up in a plan that turns their lives upside down and leads them to rethink what happiness really is.

The production sits within the realm of everyday comedy of errors, with two protagonists whose expectations clash and whose relationship changes as the story unfolds. It is a show for adult audiences, staged in Madrid at Espacio Alma.
