About the Book

"I simply don´t see reality as just anguish, despair, negativity and sex," said Casona. His plays won the public in twenty-four countries and are still applauded by European and Hispanic audiences.

His work received enthusiastic press reviews from around the world:

"The translation into German of Casona´s works has hardly finished and a race for their premiere has already started. Sttutgart wins the race with its premiere of a comedy with a sum total of neat, smart and poetical theatrical effects. A show we´ll remember for a long time." (Mann Heimer Morgen, Stuttgart, Germany)

"Casona´s comedy is both touching and funny, with human warmth throughout, developed with a remarkable balance." (Scena Illustrata, Florence, Italy)

"In the barren panorama of our Buenos Aires theatre, Casona´s comedy is an oasis of verdant flora and clear springs." (Mundo Argentino, Buenos Aires, Argentina)

This book brings you:

THE THIRD WORD, NO SUICIDE IN SPRINGTIME, ROMANCE IN THREE NIGHTS, TREES DIE STANDING TALL, LORD ARTHUR´S CRIME and THREE DIAMONDS AND A WOMAN.
