| Summary |
Premiered in 1981, The Granny and the Heist (La estanquera de Vallecas) interweaves tense excitement, comic banter and moments of great tenderness in its examination of an area of Madrid equally ignored by Spain's nascent democracy as it had been under the Franco dictatorship. Contains a new critical introduction and language-teaching resources. |
