Since Lorca's play is written for an all-female cast, we never see Pepe, the handsome suitor who drives the play to its bloody conclusion. He asks the hand of Angustias, the eldest and richest daughter, a shriveled 39-year-old spinster. At the same time, he carries on an affair with Adela, the youngest Alba daughter and the only beauty in the family. Another sister, the hunchback Martirio, is also in love with Pepe.

On the 15-mile drive from his home to Havana, Pepe had to run ten checks: "Each time, they open the hood and look for guns in the engine. They look under the seat, in the trunk, everywhere.
