{"product_id":"voices-of-change-in-the-spanish-american-theater","title":"Voices of Change in the Spanish American Theater","description":"\u003cp\u003e The aim of this anthology is to present a selection of plays that are representative of a fresh spirit and of societal pressures and changes in Spanish American culture. The plays shun the earlier realistic, sentimental, and melodramatic conventions of Spanish American theater. Instead, they reflect the tenor of the dramatic imagination of the mid-to-late twentieth century—an imagination that sought new forms and ways of expressing a new awareness of the Spanish American dilemma. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In selecting these plays, William I. Oliver looked for more than mere illustrations of these changes. As a practicing director and playwright, he sought works that are effective on the stage as well as on the page. As an editor and translator, he sought works “that could be translated culturally as well as linguistically.” The six plays in this varied and vigorous anthology are the measure of his success. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The plays included are \u003ci\u003eThe Day They Let the Lions Loose\u003c\/i\u003e, by Emilio Carballido (Mexico); \u003ci\u003eThe Camp\u003c\/i\u003e, by Griselda Gambaro (Argentina); \u003ci\u003eThe Library\u003c\/i\u003e, by Carlos Maggi (Uruguay); \u003ci\u003eIn the Right Hand of God the Father\u003c\/i\u003e, by Enrique Buenaventura (Colombia); \u003ci\u003eThe Mulatto’s Orgy\u003c\/i\u003e, by Luisa Josefina Hernández (Mexico); and \u003ci\u003eViña: Three Beach Plays\u003c\/i\u003e, by Sergio Vodánovic (Chile). \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edited and translated by William I.
