Un pis al ensanche : Comedia en un acte y en prosa by José Feliú y Codina

Un pis al ensanche by José Feliú y Codina is a one-act stage comedy written in the late 19th century. Set in contemporary Barcelona’s new Eixample district, it follows a tangle of courtship, gossip, and misunderstandings around a desirable apartment and an impending marriage that goes awry. A jovial bachelor, Feliu, is preparing to marry Eulalia Parladeras and to move out, while the punctilious notary Font keeps asking if he is truly decided. The prospective tenant Carreras arrives, swearing off marriage after a painful breakup with a young widow, Guadalupe. When Guadalupe also comes to see the flat, she and Carreras confront each other and, under Feliu’s nosy mediation, recount the quarrel that wrecked their engagement: a scandal over a notorious woman on the wedding guest list. The twist lands when that woman—Layeta Parladeras—proves to be Feliu’s own fiancée. After comic fainting fits and accusations, a letter reports that Miralles has married Eulalia, freeing Feliu from his ill-matched engagement. Feliu keeps his beloved bachelor apartment and, with the notary at hand, nudges the still-sparring Carreras and Guadalupe toward reconciliation, hinting at their revived match.
