Frankie y Johnny en el Claro de Luna

A romantic comedy by Terrence McNally in which two people marked by their past meet and, little by little, confess their fears and dreams to one another. Fátima Baeza and Guillermo Manuel Ortega star in Pilar Massa's staging in the Lola Membrives room.

The play follows two characters trying to leave their wounds behind, who find themselves on common ground of shared insecurities. As the dialogue unfolds, fears, longings and feelings are gradually revealed, while in the background plays the Debussy piece that gives the show its title.

Premièred on Broadway in 1987, the play has had numerous productions in different countries and also has a 1991 film adaptation starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Al Pacino. Its author, Terrence McNally, is regarded as one of the most prominent contemporary playwrights and has received many accolades throughout his career.

In this production, which comes to the Lola Membrives room at the Teatro Lara, the leading roles are played by Fátima Baeza and Guillermo Manuel Ortega, directed by Pilar Massa, with a creative team of various professionals. It is a story of classical structure centred on the need for human connection.
