«Retablo jovial» is a collection of five short plays by Alejandro Casona, published in paperback by Castalia Ediciones (232 pages, Spanish).
It brings together five brief pieces created for the Teatro del Pueblo of the Misiones Pedagógicas, such as «Sancho Panza en la ínsula». They aim to entertain with mockery, mix-ups and a festive tone, without moralising; beneath the humour, Casona's didactic vocation emerges, bringing classics closer to the public and satirising human attitudes.
Volume 47 of the Castalia Didáctica series. With introduction, chronological tables, bibliography, notes and study guidance by Gloria Rey Faraldos.
Suitable for literature students and for those who wish to approach classical Spanish theatre with an annotated edition.
Alejandro Rodríguez Álvarez, known as Alejandro Casona was a Spanish poet and playwright born in Besullo, Spain, a member of the Generation of '27. Casona received his bachelor's degree in Gijon and later studied at the University of Murcia. After Franco's rise in 1936, he was forced, like many Spanish intellectuals, to leave Spain. He lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina until April 1962, when he definitively returned to Spain.
