Valor, agravio y mujer (?), Ana Caro
- Scene
It is a three-act comedia.
- Staging
At the start, Estela and Lisarda are dressed in hunting gear, and they carry staffs as they descend a rocky crag. Thunder and lightning crash as they come down. The lackey hides the bandits’ weapons in some trees or bushes. The scene then shifts to a domestic interior. In the second act a reja or screen needs to act as the garden gate, as the ‘lovers’ engage in conversation between the grate, and they cannot see the face of the person they are speaking to. The doors upstage lead to Estela’s bedroom. There is sword fighting. Flora steals Ribete’s purse while he’s asleep.
