«Tres sombreros de copa» is the play by Miguel Mihura, with a study by Fernando Valls, published by Booket in paperback (408 pages, in Spanish).
The piece, with an original plot, surprising humour and verbal wit, has been considered ahead of its time: it anticipates features of European theatre of the absurd. Fernando Valls's study analyses the work's sources, its comic keys, the linguistic games and the contemporary references that Miguel Mihura integrated into the text.
Written by Miguel Mihura in 1932, this Booket edition was published on 27 February 2007 and is part of the Clásicos y Modernos collection, of which it is volume 1.
Annotated edition with a study, suitable for literature students and readers interested in 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.
