Miguel Mihura Santos (21 July 1905, in Madrid – 27 October 1977) 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.[1]
Miguel Mihura was born in Madrid in 1905. His father was an actor and theatrical producer. When he was in his twenties, he wrote his best-known comedy, Tres sombreros de copa, but its humour was not appreciated by the conservative pre-war Spanish society. Tres sombreros de copa was not staged until 1952, achieving a great success. In the 1920s he was a contributor of the satirical magazine Gutiérrez.[2]
During the civil war he edited a satirical magazine entitled La Ametralladora which was produced by the nationalists.[3] In 1941 he founded another satirical magazine, La Codorniz, which he owned and edited until 1944.[4] He also contributed various magazines, including Mundo Hispánico[5] and Vértice.[6] In the latter he worked as the artistic director from 1939.[6]
Mihura also wrote several screenplays in Spanish films during the second world war . Most of them were cut by the censors and some do not exist. One of his greatest contributions was in Welcome Mr. Marshall! (1953), directed by Luis García Berlanga.
