Publisher Description:

The three short plays in this volume deal with timeless important issues, have the potential for a diverse cast, and most important, they are funny. Written during the Spanish Golden Age, they still resonate with a modern audience as they deal with the basic foibles of the human condition. Historians know that Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547-1616), author of the first great novel, Don Quixote, wrote one of these plays: The Election of the Mayors of Daganzo, and internal evidence in the other two plays suggest Cervantes also wrote The Hospital of the Rotten and The Chatterboxes.
