Quíntuples (c.1984), Luis Sánchez

Scene

This is a two-act play with six scenes.

Staging

A solid lectern with a corresponding rectangular lamp and a low table on which a jug full of water is standing with some paper cups. These are the only pieces of furniture on stage.

The light – on the audience and on stage – is at the same strength throughout the two acts.  The only incidental music heard during the interval is a lively, stirring bolero by Pedro Flores or Rafael Hernández.  The only time the curtain comes down is at the end of the second act.

Music

A lively, stirring bolero by Pedro Flores or Rafael Hernández is heard during the interval.
