“Grandpa’s Coin” is a musical comedy written by the Paraguayan writer and playwright Luis Hernáez. The plot of this play revolves around human values.
“The action takes place in a middle-class neighborhood, where the grandfather, owner of a modest kiosk, participates; Doña Martina, a bad-tempered neighbor; the milk deliverer; and another neighbor, Doña Rosita, with a sweet character, who lives with her son José de Ella. The conflict arises when the milkman accidentally loses a gold coin, which was found and hidden by doña Martina.
The characters represent values such as kindness, truth and friendship, contrasted with the negative values of Doña Martina, who in the end changes radically. The work is aimed not only at children, but at the family in general, given its educational and cultural nature.
