ISBN: 1558852891 ISBN-13: 9781558852891 Publisher: Arte Publico Press OUR PRICE: $11.66 Product Type: Hardcover Language: Spanish Published: January 2000 Annotation: Here for the first time are collected in Spanish three of the best-known plays of Carlos Morton, one of the most celebrated and widely produced Hispanic-American playwrights living today. Rancho Hollywood: Sueno de California (translated by Iona Weissberg) pointedly satirizes film stereotypes of Latinos. Johnny Tenorio: Acto teatral chicano (translated by Eduardo Rodriguez Solis) places the centuries-old Don Juan legend into a contemporary Chicano framework. And El Jardin (translated by Manuel Martin, Jr.) presents nothing less than a comic riff on the biblical creation story, this time featuring Adan and Eva. Generous, full-page illustrations throughout the text, taken from successful productions, make this volume not only a necessity for theater students and professionals, but a delight for all lovers of the Hispanic stage -- or anyone who enjoys a sly laugh. |
