«Tres sombreros de copa» is the absurdist play by Miguel Mihura, published by Espasa in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
The play takes place over one night in a provincial hotel, where Dionisio, about to get married, meets Paula, a dancer in a revue company, and discovers a world of freedom and bohemia against his conventional life. The play combines absurd humour and criticism of bourgeois society.
Written in 1932, the play was not premiered until 1952. This edition, prepared by Antonio Tordera, includes a reading guide and belongs to the Austral Collection.
It appears as recommended reading for students of Spanish literature and fans of absurdist theatre and twentieth-century comedy.
Miguel Mihura Santos was a Spanish playwright. He is best known for his comedy Tres sombreros de copa (1952), a work of absurd humor that predates similar works by Beckett or Ionesco and that broke with many of the previous conventions of Spanish comic theatre. He was also active as a comics artist.
