- Summary
- "When the grotesque and lascivious magistrate Don Eugenio takes a fancy to the formidable Senora Frasquita, the wife of the local miller, the couple set about foiling his plans for seduction. But the misguided official is not easily dissuaded and soon enters into a ruse to remove all obstacles standing between him and the object of his desire. There ensues a fast-paced comedy of moonlight flits, clothes swapping, mistaken identity and slapstick accidents, as the characters struggle in vain to maintain both dignity and marital harmony. Against all odds, calm is eventually restored in a scene of unmasking and mutual forgiveness of truly operatic proportions." "A reworking of a traditional ballad, The Three-Cornered Hat is a tale of lust, intrigue and corruption set in nineteenth-century Andalusia."--BOOK JACKET.
