Toni Acosta returns to the Madrid stage with Anfitrión
Her heart set on being a performer, Toni Acosta was 24 when she left the Canary Islands for Madrid. Today, aged almost 50, not only is she a performer, but she is a highly successful one.

On 7 July, Anfitrión debuts at the La Latina Theatre in Madrid, and Acosta promises that this adaptation of a classic comedy, which premièred last year at the Mérida Classical Theatre Festival, will leave audiences laughing – and asking a lot of questions.
