La Novia de papá. A comedy adapted by Paloma Bravo and Joseph O’Curneen, starring María Castro, Eva Isanta, Armando del Río, Rodrigo Sáenz de Heredia, Lucía de la Fuente, and Nadia de Santiago. La Novia de papá is a scandalous, rambling, empathetic and really funny story, because it says the things we think and don’t dare to say aloud.
Go one day and you’ll be enthralled… and you’ll start to lose true north, gravity and a handle on your independence almost without realising it. And it makes perfect sense that having our heads in the clouds, dazed, is something that shouldn’t last too long, since we need sound judgement and to have our feet on the ground for what’s coming. If it’s someone like Pablo you fall in love with – like Sol does – as well as neglecting your cherished independence, you’ll end up sharing not only his lust and his love… but also his life, his house, his economy and shared custody. Because he has two daughters, and what a pair they are. Oh, and one ex. Then you go and you stop being yourself. You become dad’s girlfriend and they promote you to stepmother, and since procreating takes two… turtle doves… you might even have a kid and you’ll wonder: what sort of mess have I gotten myself into? And it only has one name: family.
And, all of this, what was it for?… Oh yes, for love. And your independence?
