Francisco de Rojas Zorrilla, "ENTRE BOBOS ANDA EL JUEGO".
An amusing classic reconquered by Noviembre Teatro and co-produced by the Compañía Nacional de Teatro Clásico. It tells the story of two lovers who manage to meet despite the unreason that surrounds them, trying to win their battle through love, an essential engine in the tradition of golden theater, and wit, which often moves the axes of the comic.

The game is between fools Don Lucas del Cigarral is a wealthy, ridiculous and unconscionable gentleman who intends to marry Doña Isabel de Peralta, who, however, has fallen in love with Don Pedro, Don Lucas' cousin, who is as handsome as he is poor. Both were smitten in a chance meeting they had before they met and they meet again because Don Pedro himself is in charge of making the first contacts with the lady before the wedding and this gives rise to the lovers to cultivate their love intensely. While they try to outwit Don Lucas, two unforeseen hindrances appear: another gallant, Don Luis, who also wants Isabel and a lady, Doña Alfonsa, Don Lucas' sister, who is after Don Pedro... The plot is served and in charge of Cabellera, Carranza and Andrea, the servants who will grease the mechanism of this play, which takes place practically on a road, with stop and go, night and premeditation; the best ideal breeding ground for the comedy of entanglement.
The work Entre bobos anda el juego is considered as the model of the figuron comedy, a subgenre of the cloak and dagger comedy that develops from a character loaded with faults who is caricatured and surrounded by a peripeteia that is entangled until the end". Yolanda Pallín comments that in this figurine there are surprising elements of contemporaneity. It is a heterogeneous work that mixes genres ranging from gentle comedy to vaudeville. It has a directly theatrical language, apparently colloquial and very functional, and surprises with a treatment of social relations that was not at all frequent at the time.

November Theater Company
The company was founded in 1995 and works in two distinct ways: one based on the universal classical repertoire and the other on contemporary drama.
Since its beginnings, the company has bet on the most interesting authors of the national scene, such as Yolanda Pallín or Borja Ortiz de Gondra. Hedda Gabler, by Ibsen; Camino de Wolokolamsk, by Heiner Müller; and Final de Partida, by Samuel Beckett have been the bets for the international contemporary repertoire. In relation to the classical repertoire, they have staged works by William Shakespeare and Lope de Vega, among others.
All this experience makes them one of the most stable companies of contemporary Spanish theater, both for the strength of the tandem composed by Yolanda Pallín and Eduardo Vasco as creative heads of the company, and for the work in the production of Miguel Ángel Alcántara and the team of actors and collaborators that make up each project.
