«La taberna fantástica; Tragedia fantástica de la gitana Celestina» is a theatre volume by Alfonso Sastre in paperback, published by Ediciones Cátedra.
The volume brings together two tragedies by Alfonso Sastre, written twelve years apart: a piece set in a tavern and a version of the character of Celestina. They share a complex dramatic mode and marginal language, within a committed theatre that the author cultivates in the line of Camus and Sartre.
Volume 327 of the Letras Hispánicas collection, edited by Mariano de Paco. Sixth edition, published in 2005, in Spanish.
For readers of theatre and Spanish literature, especially those who value socially committed drama.
