Conceived as a humorous historical review of some of the most representative events and characters in the history of the Kingdom of Castilla y León between the 9th and 16th centuries , and taking as a reference current political and social events that surround us.

Ancha es Castilla can be defined as an extravagant and humorous journey through both our present and our history as a Community.

Close to narrative forms more typical of television and microtheater , Ancha es Castilla extrapolates in a radical and very funny way situations from our present and from the political, social and cultural news. To do so, the characters and historical events shown in this funny tragicomedy are exposed and presented from a perspective far from the clichés that have characterized them until now, creating a theatrical show that we could describe as: The craziest story ever told from Castilla y León .

SYNOPSIS

Queen Joanna I of Castile, who will be known as Joanna the Mad, accompanied by her jester Horace and Casilda, the only maid and servant she has been allowed to have, finds herself locked up in Tordesillas Castle. Bored of such a sad and dramatic situation, the queen will ask her jester to entertain her by reminding her of the most significant moments that have shaped the history of her kingdom. Horace, using his great impudence and sharp gaze full of humor and irony, will agree to do so, choosing for this moments and characters as significant from our past as: Fernán González, El Cid, the Catholic Monarchs or institutions as powerful as the Holy Office.

In this way, before the queen's disturbed imagination, a series of funny scenes full of humor and nonsense will come to life until the moment when Padilla, Bravo and Maldonado (Los Comuneros) show up at her castle in order to ask Juana to lead their revolt and offer her the crown of Castile again.
