«Retablo jovial» is a play by Alejandro Casona, published by Edaf in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
«Retablo jovial» brings together five short pieces written for the Teatro del Pueblo, with a comic and festive tone, adapting popular tales and fables by authors such as Cervantes and Boccaccio. Pieces like «Sancho Panza en la ínsula» and «Farsa y justicia del corregidor» were created to take theatre to the most remote corners of Spain.
The introduction to Alejandro Casona's theatre is signed by Mauro Armiño. «Retablo jovial» belongs to the Biblioteca Edaf and was originally published in 1949.
The work is aimed at literature students and those seeking an approach to the humour of classical Spanish theatre.
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.
