Abre el ojo, de Francisco de Rojas Zorrilla (1607-1648), es una farsa de una modernidad sorprendente, por su manera de mostrar la relación real entre hombres y mujeres, con diálogos divertidos y personajes muy vitales.
Escrita en el año 1640 y representada en Toledo ese mismo año, pertenece al tipo llamado comedia de costumbres. Su comicidad se basa en la representación de personajes caricaturescos. Ofrece una rica estampa de la vida madrileña de la época con una trama en que se mezclan relaciones amorosas de una manera alegre y desenfadada.
Abre el ojo aspira a despertar en el espectador el placer de ver representados hábitos, comidas, casas y calles de la España de Felipe IV.
Francisco de Rojas Zorrilla (Toledo, 1607-Madrid, 1648). Espana. Hijo de un militar toledano de origen judio, nacio el 4 de octubre de 1607. Estudio en Salamanca y luego se traslado a Madrid, donde vivio el resto de su vida. Fue uno de los poetas preferidos de la corte de Felipe IV. En 1645 obtuvo, por intervencion del rey, el habito de Santiago. Empezo a escribir en 1632, junto a Perez Montalban y Calderon de la Barca, la tragedia El monstruo de la fortuna. Mas tarde colaboro tambien con Velez de Guevara, Mira de Amescua y otros autores. Felipe IV protegio a Rojas y pronto las comedias de este fueron a palacio;su satira contra sus colegas fue tan dura al parecer que alguno de los ofendidos o algun maton a sueldo le dio varias cuchilladas que casi lo matan. En 1640, y para el estreno de un nuevo teatro construido con todo lujo, compuso por encargo la comedia Los bandos de Verona. El monarca, satisfecho con el dramaturgo, se empeno en concederle el habito de Santiago: las primeras informaciones no probaron ni su hidalguia ni su limpieza de sangre, antes bien, la empanaron;pero una segunda investigacion que tuvo por escribano a Quevedo, merecio el placer y fue confirmado en el habito (1643). En 1644, desolado el monarca por la muerte de su esposa Isabel de Borbon y poco mas tarde por la de su hijo, ordeno clausurar los tablados, que no se abriran ya en vida de Rojas Zorrilla, muerto en Madrid el 23 de enero de 1648.
