La taberna fantástica is a play by the Spanish author Alfonso Sastre, published in 1996. The play focuses on the figure of the quinqui or quinquillero and their circumstances, such as marginalization and aggressiveness, with an evident critical intention on the part of the author. It is a drama about marginalization from a surprising perspective, where these beings are portrayed, victims of a society that has closed the doors to them, repressed by justice and condemned to a marginal existence, with a grotesque approach that does not annul, but rather enhances, their tragic dimension.
Alfonso Sastre was a Spanish playwright, essayist, and critic associated with the Generation of '36 movement. He was an outspoken critic of censorship during the reign of General Francisco Franco and the ensuing political regime arising from the 1978 Constitution altogether. His most noteworthy plays include Death Squad (1953), The Gag (1954), Death Thrust (1960), and Tragicomedy of the Gypsy Celestina (1984).
