February 12 El Hijo de la Cómica, Spanish drama in San Javier
A homage to Fernando Fernán-Gómez, at the Teatro Vico in Jumilla
Written, directed and performed by José Sacristán, El Hijo del Cómica is a homage to the life and work of Fernando Fernán-Gómez, one of Spain’s favourite novelists, playwrights, actors and cinema directors.
Born in Peru in 1921, Fernán-Gómez didn’t actually obtain Spanish nationality until 1984, and was a prolific artist well into his 80s before his death in Madrid in 2007. This show is dedicated to his younger years, as recalled in his memoir “El Tiempo Amarillo”.
The performance at the Teatro de Invierno in San Javier, located in the central Parque Almansa, on 12th February begins at 21.00 and tickets are available online here priced from 15 euros.
