Quintero brothers

They performed in the most remote areas of the spanish speaking world, such as in the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, by the Guerrero-Mendoza company that carried several of their works when the theater was built, due to this the brothers enjoyed innumerable tributes, making their works well-known into the 1920s.

Many of their pieces are of a costumbrismo nature, describing what it's like being from their native Andalusian lands, but leaving aside the gloomy and miserable vision of social ills.

According to Francisco Ruiz Ramón in Historia del Teatro Español Siglo XX (Cátedra, 1995), "the basic assumptions of this theater are those of a naive naturalistic realism".

In short, they are bourgeois comedies that offer an idealized and friendly vision of Andalusia that does not worry the average viewer; the joy of living silences any hint of dramatic conflict.

Their Complete Works were published in Madrid: Fernando Fe y Espasa-Calpe, 1918-1947, in forty-two volumes.
