«Historia de una escalera» is the play by Antonio Buero Vallejo, published by Espasa Calpe in paperback (151 pages, in Spanish).
Set in a residential building, the play follows several humble families over time and shows how their aspirations clash with the lack of opportunities in postwar Spain. The 1949 premiere marked a milestone in the renewal of Spanish theatre and made Buero Vallejo a key figure in social drama.
