„"The House with Two Entrances", one of the most witty comedies of the prolific Spanish writer, is a play conceived in a playful way, the idea of play being its specific note. If a house has two entrances, many unforeseen things can happen inside it: people enter through one gate and, before they are found, disappear through the other. It is very difficult to guard a house with two entrances, especially when there is a girl to be married inside. The complicated love story that is born includes, in the good tradition of commedia dell'arte, a series of confusions, misunderstandings, disguises, secrets. It is even suggested that the traditional isolation of women can produce disorder and endanger love and friendship. In the end, with the help of the thawed, wise and skillful servants - although not always sincere - everything returns to normal and everyone finds their partner, to the good mood of the spectator, drawn into the lively and alert rhythm of the play.
