The theatrical work Malapata III and The Time Machine (María Rosal Nadales, 2019) is not your typical pirate story. The author weaves her talents as a poet and storyteller in such a way that she offers a dramatic approach in prose, combining references to literary tradition with a notable contemporary character and plot development. This article analyzes María Rosal's tendency of using heterogeneous elements in high and popular culture as a means to re-elaborate a new literary product meant to question the prevailing value system and stimulate irony and critical thought in children readers. What she suggests is nothing less than paradoxical and humorous, while also subverting traditional codes of children's literature. With this study we intend to delve into the value of theatre as an artistic and educational tool and to approach strategies used in Malapata III and The Time Machine to capture the audiences' attention by means of fast-paced, and irreverent, dramatic action.
