Los intereses creados

Two hungry men walk into a city with empty pockets and a costume. One will play the gentleman. The other will play the brains. Crispín does not steal the silver. He invents a nobleman, runs up the bills, and ties every merchant, father, and fiancée to the lie until the whole town has something to lose if the mask slips. Call it fraud. Call it business. The title already told you which one the world prefers. Benavente’s comedy has a knife in the lining. Watch who defends the swindle. It will not be the innocent.
