This edition of 'Tres sombreros de copa' by Miguel Mihura, published by Austral, is a theatrical work that breaks with traditional comic theater, anticipating the theater of the absurd. The plot confronts two opposing worlds: the provincial bourgeoisie, tied to conventions, and a group of outcasts seeking freedom and rejecting moral hypocrisy. The play, written in the early thirties, took twenty years to premiere, generating controversy and astonishment at the time. This book includes a preliminary study, teaching material, and text commentaries by Ana González Tornero, enriching the reading and analysis experience of the work.
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.
