«La venganza de Don Mendo» is the play by Pedro Muñoz Seca, of the astracán genre, published by Espasa in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
Premiered in 1918 at the Teatro de la Comedia, the play parodies historical dramas with a humorous plot and verses that cover almost all the metres and strophic forms of Castilian poetry. The volume is completed with the surviving pages of «El pendón de Don Fruela», an unpublished work that also parodies a historical drama.
Belongs to the Austral Collection (number 30). Prologue by Alfonso Ussía; edition and reading guide by Almudena del Olmo Iturriarte.
For readers of classic Spanish theatre and fans of satirical comedy and humour.
