This drama is a parody firstly of the theatre as such and of the fairytale "Puss in Boots" in particular and secondly of the audience in the 19th century. At first glance the reader is surprised by the unusual opening which is the talking audience. The special about the public is, that the men are mostly ordinary craftsmen like blacksmith or carpenter and talk about theatre and the drama especially like they were highly academic educated literary scholars. They are interrupting the play all the time and so the author is totally distracted and dispaired.
The fairytale as such is pretty usual, it is in almost the same manner as it is known from Grimm's Children's and Household Tales, but it becomes more and more different in the ongoing of the presentation because of the interruptions from the audience and the improvising of actors and author as well to satisfy the public.
I enjoyed it very well although at the beginning I was very sceptic because it was so different from all dramas I know. It is very recommandable for all who like to read something different from what they are used to or like parodies. ( )
