«Tres sombreros de copa» is the play by Miguel Mihura, published by Austral in paperback (206 pages, in Spanish).
Dionisio, a young man about to marry, crosses paths with marginalized characters and spends a night that calls his plans into question. Written in the early 1930s, the play took twenty years to premiere and sets provincial bourgeoisie against freedom, anticipating the theatre of the absurd.

For students of Spanish literature and readers interested in the evolution of twentieth-century theatre.
Miguel Mihura Santos was a Spanish playwright. He is best known for his comedy Tres sombreros de copa (1952), a work of absurd humor that predates similar works by Beckett or Ionesco and that broke with many of the previous conventions of Spanish comic theatre. He was also active as a comics artist.
