Description
One of the best-loved Spanish novels of all time, The Three-Cornered Hat is a hilarious tale of lust, intrigue and corrupt authorities set in eighteenth-century Andalusia.
When the hideous and lascivious corregidor Don Eugenio takes a fancy to the formidable - and formidably desirable - Senora Frasquita, the wife of a local miller, the couple set about foiling his plans for a seduction.
There ensues a fast-paced comedy of moonlight flits, clothes swapping, mistaken identity, and slapstick accidents as the characters struggle in vain to maintain both dignity and marital harmony.
Calm is eventually restored in a scene of unmasking and mutual forgiveness of truly operatic proportions.
