| Playwright, born in Pola de Lena, Asturias, NW Spain. After studying and practising medicine, he began to write sainetes, some with Miguel Ramos Carrión. His first premiere, ¡Basta de matemáticas!, at the Variedades (1874) was highly successful and was followed by more than 70 other plays. The centenary of his birth was celebrated by Aguilar's publication of an anthology of Aza's best plays in the Colección Crisol (1951). |
