«Los intereses creados» is the puppet comedy by Jacinto Benavente, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (120 pages, in Spanish).
In Los intereses creados, Crispín and Leandro, two rogues, arrive in a seventeenth-century Italian city to get ahead. Crispín passes Leandro off as a wealthy man, but the plan gets complicated when love arises. The play, a puppet farce in the tradition of the commedia dell'arte, ironically portrays a society ruled by interests and appearances.

Jacinto Benavente y Martínez was one of the foremost Spanish dramatists of the 20th century. He was awarded the 1922 Nobel Prize in Literature "for the happy manner in which he has continued the illustrious traditions of the Spanish drama".
