El acero de Madrid

Undoubtedly, "The steel of Madrid" puts on the table all the archetypes associated with urban comedy. An exemplary paradigm that would combine the four main characteristics that are presupposed in these works: metropolitan landscape, love theme, contemporaneity and more than likely happy ending. "The steel of Madrid" sets as the coordinates of its dramatic action the topic of the false opilada. A tradition of new wedging that had no classic background but was far from a lopesco innovation. To be fair, the Phoenix would actually be adding to a crazy trend that would put a finger on the scourge of a social problem. Throughout the play we are reminded over and over again that Belisa's alleged stacking is the real driver of the plot, a cause and a response to her emotional troubles. By way of poetic parapet, behind that invention there would be a long retelling of poems that mocked those maidens, who, pretending to be ill, used to lose something more than shame.
