«Tres sombreros de copa» is a play by Spanish writer Miguel Mihura, published by Ediciones SM in paperback (120 pages, in Spanish).
Dionisio, about to marry after a seven-year courtship, stays the night before the wedding in a second-rate hotel in a provincial capital. There he meets a circus company and, in particular, the dancer Paula, who shows him another way of seeing life. The play stands out for its surprising humor and verbal wit, which anticipate the theater of the absurd.
Comedy in three acts written in 1932, although it was not premiered until 1952 at the Teatro Español in Madrid. The annotated edition clarifies the wordplay and references to current events of the time.
This work is aimed at young readers aged 14 and over and is commonly read in secondary school.
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.
