The Spanish Fly

by Franz Arnold and Ernst Bach

What happens when the distinguished representatives of a town's elite are confronted, twenty-five years on, with the consequences of the escapades of their youth - escapades committed with the "Spanish fly", the beautiful and beguiling flamenco dancer? We invite you to leave your prejudices at the door and enjoy a comedy full of bullfights, sarabandes, grotesque masquerades and... mustard, one that provokes hiccups of pleasure behind the most respectable appearances of decency. The Spanish Fly is a hysterical farce whose delightful plot works on the audience like a pleasant drug. Like the aphrodisiac itself, it puts them into a trance, charms them at every reversal, and delights them with the witty lines and the buffoonery the characters - bourgeois puppets with nothing on their minds but money and sex - play on one another.
