Alfonso Sastre , 1926-, Spanish dramatist, essayist, and critic, b. Madrid. Approaching his work from a Marxist and existentialist point of view, he explores the problems of society's needy and rejected and pleads for justice in a world free of violence and hatred. His plays include Escuadra hacia la muerte [death squad] (1953), La mordaza [the gag] (1954), La cornade [death thrust] (1960), and Tragicomedia de la gitana Celestina [tragicomedy of the Gypsy Celestina] (1984).
