«Tres sombreros de copa» is the three-act comedy by Miguel Mihura, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
Dionisio stays at a hotel the night before his wedding and runs into a variety troupe. Meeting the dancer Paula makes him see another way of understanding life, freer and more imaginative than the routine awaiting him. It is a comedy of gentle, almost absurd humour that criticises bourgeois conventions.
«Tres sombreros de copa», written in 1932, was not premiered until 1952. The 2007 Cátedra edition belongs to the Letras Hispánicas collection (no. 97) and was prepared by Jorge Rodríguez Padrón.
Aimed at literature students and readers interested in twentieth-century Spanish theatre and absurd humour.
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.
