About This Book

La narración sigue a un joven desempleado y errante en Madrid que entra al servicio de una actriz célebre y relata sus tareas, rutinas teatrales, intrigas entre bambalinas y las redes sociales de actores, empresarios y espectadores. Mediante descripciones de quehaceres diarios —ayudar con el peinado, traer cosméticos, cargar atrezzo, vigilar a compañías rivales y participar en funciones— ofrece un panorama, a menudo humorístico, de la vida teatral y sus conexiones con la sociedad cortesana, los rumores políticos y las ambiciones personales en un período de transformación social.
