Author. Born in Sueca, Valencia, Spain, Bernat i Baldoví had a prolific career as journalist, poet and playwright, both in Valencian and Spanish Language. He is best remembered for his popular plays  that reflected the life of simple people with realism and acid humor, such as “El Virgo de Vicenteta” (later made into a film), “Los Pastores de Belén”,  “El Gafaüt”,  “El Mocador”,  and “Pataques i Caragols”.  He also helped revive the traditonal Spanish “miracle play”,  dramatic works based on religious themes and staged outdoors.  He died in Valencia, Spain.
