It was shot at the CEA Studios in Madrid. The film's sets were designed by the art director Sigfrido Burmann. It is based on the 1867 play of the same title by Manuel Tamayo y Baus.
In Jacobean London, William Shakespeare's company stage a new tragedy. Shakespeare allows the fool Yorick to play the lead, before realising that the new play's theme of jealousy of a spouse closely resembles that of Yorick and his wife Alicia.
