«La venganza de Don Mendo» is the theatrical comedy by Pedro Muñoz Seca, published by Espasa in paperback (194 pages, in Spanish).
A parodic comedy that mocks historical drama by setting it in a medieval Spain full of anachronisms. Muñoz Seca uses the astracán genre, with wordplay, puns and absurd situations; the work covers almost all the meters and strophic forms of Castilian poetry.
Premiered at the Teatro de la Comedia in Madrid in 1918, the play consists of four acts. This 1987 edition belongs to the Austral Collection and includes a prologue by Alfonso Ussía.
For fans of classic Spanish theatre and absurd humor who appreciate parody and verbal play.
Pedro Muñoz Seca was a Spanish comic playwright. He was one of the most successful playwrights of his era. He wrote approximately 300 dramatic works, both sainetes and longer plays, often in collaboration with Pedro Pérez Fernández or Enrique García Álvarez. His most ambitious and best known play is La venganza de Don Mendo ; other major works include La barba de Carrillo and Pepe Conde (1920).
