La coartada takes place in Renaissance Florence and addresses the Pazzi conspiracy against the power of the Medici. Its condition as a “historical” drama allowed it to circumvent the censorship of Francoism. Los domingos bacanal, on the other hand, is a contemporary piece set in a luxurious chalet with characters who dress tastefully. The influence of Enrique Jardiel Poncela and Harold Pinter is reflected in the plot.
Fernando Fernández Gómez, better known as Fernando Fernán Gómez, was a Spanish actor, screenwriter, film director, theater director, novelist, and playwright. Prolific in all these fields, he was elected member of the Royal Spanish Academy in 1998. He was born in Lima, Peru while his mother, Spanish actress Carola Fernán-Gómez, was making a tour in Latin America. He would later use her surname for his stage name when he moved to Spain in 1924.
