A Hundred Years Old

The play is a colourful one, written with charm, wit and deep human insight. Papa Juan, a patriach in a small Spanish village , has invited his entire family of descendants and distant relatives to come to his birthday celebrations. He is approaching his hundredth birthday. As they begin to arrive and the great day draws near, Papa Juan's excitement mounts. Difficulties, such as family quarrels and the love his great great granddaughter has for Trino, intervene and it takes Papa Juan's wit and youthful vigour to settle this before the celebrations begin. The play reflects the gaiety and romanticism of Spain and this national character is emphasized by the use of colourful Spanish costumes, setting and music.
