«La venganza de Don Mendo» is the comic play by Pedro Muñoz Seca, published by M.E. Editores in paperback (135 pages, in Spanish).
The play parodies the historical romantic drama with overflowing humour, unusual rhymes, wordplay and caricatured characters. The adventure plot, full of drama and exaggeration, also runs through numerous strophic forms of Castilian poetry.
Premiered in 1918 at the Teatro de la Comedia, the play is an example of astracán. This edition belongs to the Clásicos de Siempre collection, number 41.
Of interest to readers of classic Spanish theatre and literary humour.
