The Estepona City Council informs that the Municipal Theater Group ‘Farándula’ will premiere next Friday, May 24, at 8.30 pm on the stage of the Padre Manuel Cultural Center, the play ‘La calle del infierno’, by the Sevillian author Antonio Onetti, film and television scriptwriter, playwright, stage director and professor of dramaturgy.

La calle del infierno’ reflects in a comical way the frustrations and hopes of Paqui, Juani and Toñi, three supermarket cashiers who go to the April fair in Seville. In this bustling space and apparently for no reason, Juani commits suicide. This will trigger the plot of relationships that unites these friends, played by Marisa Olid, Desirée Pérez and Mercedes Bazán, under the direction of Luque.

Tickets will cost 5 euros and can be purchased at the box office from one hour before the start of the show.

The Municipal Theater Group has just celebrated its 40th anniversary. It was created in 1983 and debuted in 1984 with the play ‘En la ardiente oscuridad’, by Buero Vallejo. Since then it has premiered almost a hundred titles of different theatrical genres.

Among the numerous awards received, the one awarded in the XV Certamen de Campillos stands out: best play and best female interpretation for Mª Victoria de Miguel with ‘La gata sobre un tejado de zinc caliente’, a free version of the play based on the text by playwright Tennessee Williams, whose interpretation also earned her the Best Play Award in the National Theater Contest ‘Villa de Pizarra 2014’.

In the XIII Certamen de Campillos, two of its members, Rafa Alijas and Mar Berlanga, were also recognized as best performers in the well-known play by Adolfo Marsillach ‘Yo me bajo en la próxima, y usted?’. In 2011 two recognitions stand out: award for best male interpretation to Miguel López for his role in ‘Gaviotas subterráneas’ in the XI Certamen de Campillos and in the III Certamen de Teatro de Olvera. And that same year he received the ‘Torre Almenara 2011’ Award as Best Cultural Entity, granted by the 24 Hours Sports Foundation of Estepona.

In addition, the GMT ‘Farándula’ won in 2016 two awards in the XVI Certamen de Teatro ‘Isidro Carbonero Villa de Campillos’. The show ‘Mamás’, a comic play by Marc Egea in which two women tell their experience in the world of motherhood, won the award for best female performer for Mercedes Bazán and best scenography.

Since 1998 the GMT ‘Farándula’ has been directed by Jesús Luque.
