The premise was simple, the misadventures of a captain and her "crew", however "Las tremendas aventuras de la capitana Gazpacho" contains two other sub-plots which develop throughout the play. These two sub-plots eventually connect together and the author makes each o the three stories be related to the other. For instance the captain Gazpacho was looking for a woman to love, who she called Dulcinea, and a woman from one of the other plots somehow became part of the captain´s world and the captain became in love with her.
Even though interesting ideas were presented, these are poorly executed. The acting was poor, some performances were simply hideous and scenes in which there were choreographies, there was no coordination in them.
Another big issue in the play was the lack ofa concept in it, even thoguh the scenery was small there were only a few props and honestly no concept was visible.
"Las Tremendas Aventuras de la capitana Gazpacho" is a clear example of how much we have learnt in this past years. Previously we wouldn´t notice all these errors and we would even enjoy this play, however because we have acquired all the knowledge about theatre we are able to see the errors.
