"Maldita Felicidade" by Alexandre da Costa is a one-act comedy that was first performed by the Gervasio Lobato Dramatic Group in Lisbon during the late 19th century. The play explores themes of marital relationships and misunderstandings, particularly focusing on the concept of happiness and its ironic consequences. It encapsulates the humorous yet poignant interactions among characters, revealing the complexities of love and fidelity. The storyline centers around Pinto Gallo, a man eagerly awaiting a promotion in the royal court while simultaneously dealing with issues of fidelity and family dynamics. His wife, Engracia, grows suspicious of his affections, believing him to have committed infidelity with a character named D. Felicidade, who she mistakenly thinks is a real person. As the plot unfolds, misunderstandings arise among Pinto Gallo, his wife, their sons Fernando and Carlos, and the tailor Carneiro Real, leading to confounded romantic entanglements. Ultimately, the comedic chaos resolves in a celebration of familial ties and a humorous twist on the true definition of happiness. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
