L'apotecari de Malgrat

A one-act comic play set in a village apothecary stages preparations for a domestic arrival and the small dramas that follow: arguments over bills and renovations, bungled treatments, and a stream of folk remedies and superstitions promoted by locals. Interactions among the apothecary, his assistants, customers, and neighbors generate misunderstandings and social embarrassment, while gossip and the desire to impress visiting relatives drive much of the action. The piece blends quick, situational humor with a satirical view of vanity, greed, and credulity, relying on confined staging and lively exchanges to reveal everyday follies.
