About This Book
A two-act comic play set in a small town follows a middle-aged master shoemaker who becomes unexpectedly infatuated with a visiting woman, abandoning work and imagining romantic encounters; his bewildered apprentices notice changes and the household reacts, producing misunderstandings, jealousies and humorous situations. Scenes alternate between the workshop and domestic spaces, and dialogue-driven exchanges generate farcical confusion that exposes social manners, desire, and self-deception. Practical routines collide with obsessive longing, prompting playful satire of small-town gossip and the gap between public reputation and private folly.
