It brings together two plays by Alfonso Sastre, a theater of investigation and revelation that avoids pamphleteering and prefers to interrogate human problems. Farris Anderson's introduction situates both pieces in contemporary Spanish theater and traces the author's profile as a theatrical activist.
It is volume 61 of the Clásicos Castalia collection; text in Spanish published in 1975, with a bibliographical note and select bibliography on the author.
For literature students and readers of contemporary Spanish theater seeking an edition with an introductory study.
