Los caciques by Carlos Arniches y Barrera
"Los caciques" by Carlos Arniches y Barrera is a three-act play premiered in 1920. In the small town of Villalgancio, corrupt mayor Don Acisclo Arrambla learns an inspector is coming to audit his accounts. He prepares lavish bribes to win the inspector's favor. However, when Alfredo and his uncle arrive seeking permission to marry the mayor's niece, they are mistaken for the inspector, triggering a cascade of comic misunderstandings. Arniches called this
work a "tragedia grotesca," inspired by Nikolai Gogol's satirical play "The Inspector General." (This is an automatically generated summary.)
