TENDERNESS

by Alfredo Sanzol
Translated by Simon Breden

Tenderness is a comedy about deserted islands, shipwrecks, dreamy queens and fearful woodcutters, magic, impossible situations, unleashed passions, irrational hatreds, incendiary wishes, surprising twists and a desire that unites everyone: the desire to find Tenderness anywhere, anyhow and with anyone.

Nowadays there are many people thinking of secludingon a lonely island.The play Tenderness also speaks about that, about the fantasies of loneliness to escape from problems. I have told my stories imitating the 16th and 17th centuries Spanish comedies, and the English ones, so I hope it all goes very well in London.
