Carlos Sobera said in Zaragoza on Friday morning that Morgan Freeman unknowingly defined the keys to "The Comedy of the Pot," the classic work based on a text by Plautus that the TV personality is performing at Teatro Principal from Friday through Sunday.

That is precisely what happens to Euclion, the archetypal miser played by Sobera on stage.

The Teatro Principal will swap drama for literature for a day. The Zaragoza venue will host the presentation of C.H.

He has helped thousands of couples find love on “First Dates” and hosted more television shows than he can count, but, despite what some may think, Carlos Sobera (San Vicente de Barakaldo, 1960) is also a man of the theater. He is particularly fond of comedy, and even more so of the classics, taking on the role of Euclio in Plautus’ play, an old miser obsessed with his pot of gold who decides to marry a young woman without knowing she is his daughter’s great love. He will take the stage at the Teatro Principal from October 30 to November 2 in “The Pot of Gold,” a play packed with characters, misunderstandings and, he says, hilarious situations that remains fully relevant 2,300 years later.
