The Fariña Play
Nacho Carretero’s nonfiction book, Fariña, which translates to flour which is slang for cocaine focused on drug trafficking in Galicia. The book has been made into a smash hit TV series of the same name. In the TV show, a skilled speedboat handler is recruited to smuggle tobacco and then Cocaine into Spain via the Galician coast.
Carretero, an investigative journalist, has seen his book sell over 100,00 copies. In 2018 a court order was imposed banning further sales. This was lifted a few months later after a successful appeal.
The play brings the events alive and is worth going to Cangas to see it. The events are based on real-life events that happened in Galicia. This gives the play a magic and a realism few can match. To think what unfolds on the stage actually happened a few miles from where you are sitting gives the play an edge, and makes for the best theatre-going experience.
