«Tres sombreros de copa» is the play by Miguel Mihura, published by Vicens Vives in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
This comedy, written in 1932 and premiered in 1952, is considered a key piece of twentieth-century Spanish comic theatre. On the eve of his wedding, Dionisio meets Paula, a circus dancer, in a provincial hotel; their fleeting idyll pits the free world of the music hall against the hypocrisy of the provincial bourgeoisie, in a plot of absurd humour.
Volume 15 of the Clásicos Hispánicos collection, with edition, introduction and notes by Fernando Valls, and a study of the work by Delmiro Antas.
A common reading in secondary education, especially in Language and Literature, as a classic of twentieth-century Spanish theatre.
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.
