«Retablo jovial» is Alejandro Casona's collection of theatrical farces, published by Editorial Bruño in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together short theatrical pieces that Alejandro Casona wrote as farces for the people of rural Spain. The careful language, with an old-fashioned flavor, sustains plots full of humor and irony where nothing is what it seems and misunderstandings provoke laughter.
It belongs to the Biblioteca Clásica Bruño, edited by Julieta García-Pomareda and Rosa Zambrano.
Recommended as school reading, especially for secondary and high school students approaching classical Spanish theater.
Alejandro Rodríguez Álvarez, known as Alejandro Casona was a Spanish poet and playwright born in Besullo, Spain, a member of the Generation of '27. Casona received his bachelor's degree in Gijon and later studied at the University of Murcia. After Franco's rise in 1936, he was forced, like many Spanish intellectuals, to leave Spain. He lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina until April 1962, when he definitively returned to Spain.
