Plot summary

A Casa, tells a simple story, but its great strength lies in the description passionate and accomplice of the characters.
The theme of the play revolves around a seemingly bitter and cynical idea: a woman should become a prostitute, to sustain itself without effort.
Josinalda, a lady of strict principles, maintains in his house with his meager salary, Liduina, your sister, Fredegund, your niece, and Creuzilene, your neighbor.
Life is peaceful and marked by seemingly commons issues until, unexpectedly, a bandit enters the residence of distinguished ladies, making them hostages.
The play then becomes a police comedy, and thus a fascinating intellectual game of cat and mouse, where not everything looks, like really is.
