«La Zapatera Prodigiosa» is a two-act theatrical farce by Federico García Lorca, published by Alianza in paperback (213 pages, in Spanish).
The action centres on a young shoemaker's wife married to an older man, dissatisfied with her life and longing for an idealised love. Federico García Lorca combines comedy and drama, with popular dances and songs, and defined the piece as an apologue of the human soul, close to pantomime and ballet.
The work dates from 1926. This edition includes «Fin de fiesta», with introduction, edition and notes by Mario Hernández.
