«Los intereses creados» is the play by Jacinto Benavente, published by Ediciones Orbis, S.A. in hardcover (174 pages, in Spanish).
Two rogues, Leandro and Crispín, arrive in a seventeenth-century Italian city and hatch a plan: Crispín passes Leandro off as a rich man so he can woo the daughter of the wealthy Polichinela. When love becomes real and the deception comes to light, the wedding ends up being a business deal for everyone; a critique of bourgeois society's values.
Premiered on December 9, 1907, at the Teatro Lara in Madrid, it is framed in the commedia dell'arte tradition.
Recommended for readers of classic Spanish theatre and twentieth-century Spanish literature.
Jacinto Benavente y Martínez was one of the foremost Spanish dramatists of the 20th century. He was awarded the 1922 Nobel Prize in Literature "for the happy manner in which he has continued the illustrious traditions of the Spanish drama".
