La moza de Cántaro

Por Lope de Vega

La pieza, llena de equívocos narrados en tono cómico, se centra en la peripecia de la bella Doña María, quien es testigo de una ofensa hecha a su padre por un tal Don Diego. Para vengar la humillación y en guisa de caballero, reta a duelo al infame y lo mata. Debe entonces huir de su Ronda natal hacia Madrid, acompañada por el galán Don Juan, enamorado de María, pero que cree que acompaña a un joven fugitivo, pues ella permanece con ropas de varón.

Lope de Vega

Lope de Vega (1562-1635) was Spain's first great playwright. The most prolific dramatist in the history of the theatre, he is believed to have written some 1500 plays of which about 470 survive. He established the conventions for the Spanish comedia in the last decade of the 16th century, influenced the development of the zarzuela, and wrote numerous autosacramentales.The son of an embroiderer, he took part in the conquest of Terceira in the Azores (1583) and sailed with the Armada in 1588, an event that inspired his epic poem La Dragentea (1597). Among his many notable works are Fuenteovejuna (c. 1614) in which villagers murder their tyrannous feudal lord and are saved by the king's intervention, and El castigo sin venganza, in which a licentious duke maintains his public reputation by killing his adulterous wife and her illegitimate son.
