Love is a good thing-so true in The Spark and Fire of It, this
classic one-act romance: two young people smitten to the point of
delirium and a gruff father who will have none of it. The father
sees his daughter's suitor only as a penniless lad with nothing to
offer. But the young woman's mother sees her own husband in the
young man, remembering a time when he, too, was an empty-handed
suitor. Add internal complications: the young women questions her
own judgment, and the young man is tempted by a hooligan called
Rascal. Then there is Old Gentleman, who, like a befuddled
Socrates, understands this thing called love. The romance contains
poems that begin with a line of Shakespeare that Soto artfully
extends into his own original poetry. The dialogue is written in
the vernacular of Elizabethan times-though occasionally it falls
into contemporary street slang. The code switching reminds readers
that love is a human experience that makes the young go crazy no
matter the century!
