- The Puppet Play of Don Cristóbal
"The Puppet Play of Don Cristóbal" ("Retablillo de Don Cristóbal") is a play for puppet theatre by the twentieth-century Spanish dramatist Federico García Lorca. It was written in 1931 and was first performed on the 11th May, 1935 at the Book Fair in Madrid, in a performance in which Lorca operated the puppets himself.[Edwards (1980, 35).] Don Cristóbal is a kind of Punch character (which itself was based on Pulcinella), who also appears in García Lorca's earlier puppet play, "The Billy-Club Puppets" (written in 1931).][García Lorca (1963, 10, 13).] ]Works cited
