Cásate conmigo, Maribel (Marry me, Maribel) is based on the famous play by Miguel Mihura, "Maribel y la extraña familia" (Maribel and the strange family). It is obviously not Mihura's play itself, and it's different from the Film adaptation that Jose María Forque directed in 1960. This version by Angel Blasco is more tender and romantic, but I think it's beautiful. Peformances by Natalia Dicenta and Carlos Hipolito are brilliant, and I found the whole piece quite elegant, sensitive and compelling. People at my side in the theatre laughed and wept and had a wonderful time, as myself.
