«La venganza de Don Mendo» is the verse play by Pedro Muñoz Seca, published in paperback (126 pages, in Spanish).
A caricature of a tragedy in four acts, written in verse and premiered at the Teatro de la Comedia in 1918. It parodies historical dramas and combines a humorous revenge plot with a tour of nearly all the meters and stanza forms of Castilian poetry, a hallmark of the astracán created by Pedro Muñoz Seca.
Edition published in 1994 that also includes the surviving pages of «El pendón de Don Fruela», an unpublished work parodying a historical drama.
For readers interested in classical Spanish theater, verse poetry and parodic humor.
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).
