Synopsis: Two kids must live with their grandmother while their father is away on business (their mother is dead). Besides the old woman - who is a tyrant - they meet their aunt - who is a daydreaming, good-hearted and slightly infantilized person - and their uncle - who is equally friendly and has connections with the underworld.
Appraisal: The text operates with somewhat predictable situations and conflicts, which are nevertheless fairly ably developed. The characters seem to have their roots in reality, albeit with strong simplifications which betray the text's theatrical origins.
