Tres obras renovadoras del teatro español de posguerra

This volume gathers three essential plays that broke the stagnation of post-war Spanish theater:

• Historia de una escalera by Antonio Buero Vallejo
• Escuadra hacia la muerte by Alfonso Sastre
• Cementerio de automóviles by Fernando Arrabal

These authors represent distinct styles—Ethical Realism, Radical Tragedy, and the Theater of Panic—yet they share a common goal: connecting Spanish drama with international vanguard tendencies like Existentialism and the Theater of the Absurd.

This Edition: Edited by Professor Víctor Fuentes, this volume analyzes the different strategies used by these playwrights to confront censorship and social anguish in Francoist Spain.
