The Corral del Carbon Company offers three nights of Shakespeare and Falstaff comedy at the end March

Compania Corral del Carbon has been studying the texts of William Shakespeare in an effort to save one of the most important characters from the British writer. They could have played Iago or Lady Macbeth; however, the theater company chose to interfere with Falstaff, one of the most charismatic and daring characters found in the plays of William Shakespeare. This liar, a vain and playful compulsive liar, has been an integral part of Elizabethan theater comedy's best moments.

The play, simply called 'Falstaff,' will be a free adaptation of Shakespeare's writings. This includes plots and characters from 'The Merry Wives of Windsor,' 'Henry V,' and the two parts of 'Henry IV'. The company has analyzed these three works down to the last comma to present three nights of drama at the Isabel la Catolica Theater, Granada. At 9pm, you can see the unique point of view Corral del Carbon members offer on this subject.

Popular culture

Many high-ranking historians have contributed their views to this fictional man of questionable virtue, thanks to his portrayal on every page that his name appears. It was first the Mediterranean Antonio Salieri who wrote the play "Falstaff or The Three Teases", a play that is based on "The Merry Wives of Windsor". It was first performed in Vienna in 1799. There were slight changes, such as the elimination of certain characters or the addition of subplots.

A few years later, it was Giuseppe Verdi with an Arrigo Boito libretto. He would create a lyrical comedy that was based on the four Corral del Carbon Company works, the only four where the character first appeared. It was premiered at Teatro de la Scala, Milan in 1893. It would be one of the final compositions by the musician who would pass away 8 years later. Falstaff's vain and festive personality has made him the protagonist of two major works. This is enough for someone who has never achieved anything in his life. His ineptitude is evident throughout the pages of these works.

Cultural adaptations

The Corral del Carbon Company will represent a play about the "most ingenious characters in literature, being, himself, an ambassador for life", according to the members of the theater company. Falstaff's charisma has allowed him to be part lyrical works that were created by people who were captivated by his charm. This character has been a part of literature and music for centuries.

In the 1960s, Orson Welles made a film in his honor. The genius American filmmaker directed 'Chimes at Midnight,' which dealt with John Falstaff's life and work, and his father-son relationship to Prince Hal. Welles had to play the role of the character, something that is common in his filmography. Welles used a text with all the details of Shakespeare's works, including parts from 'Richard II. The Circle of Cinematographic Writers awarded the film two awards. This character was Shakespeare's greatest creation, according to the director. It was the last work of the prolific filmmaker, who revolutionized cinema. He would still be able to make "An immortal story" or "F for false".

Jose Guerrero, who has previously directed other works by Anglo-Saxon geniuses such as 'King Lear,' is responsible for the adaptation and direction. The company will perform the role on three consecutive days in conjunction with World Theater Day. This celebration can be enjoyed at the Alhambra's great theater.
