The Shoemaker»s Wonderful Wife and The Love of Don Perlimplín use an old story of the old man married to the young wife to expose the social attitudes of a traditional Spain bound by rigid concepts of decency, reputation and honour. The Puppet Play deploys the puppets» uninhibited and passionate emotions as a direct attack on the »tedious triviality» of commercial theatre. The Butterfly»s Evil Spell explores the themes of love and frustration, while When Five Years Pass is a surrealist play with references to the film Un Chien Andalou [The Andalusian Dog] by Lorca»s friend and collaborator, Luis Buñuel.
