Plays by Paco Bezerra: Cutting-Edge Spanish Theatre by Paco Bezerra
This vital anthology includes fresh translations of four of Paco Bezerra's plays in one edited collection for the first time in English. Winner of the National Literary Drama Award in 2009 and the Calderon de la Barca Theatre Drama Prize for New Authors in 2007, Paco Bezerra has become one of the most lauded and essential voices in the Spanish theatrical scene. His works have received both critical and audience acclaim, and his plays have been performed throughout Europe, South America and Asia. In the four plays included in this volume, Bezerra addresses critical issues such as child abuse, racism and women’s rights. And, in a manner common to all of his works, Bezerra continually explores how marginalization weaves into all aspects of human existence. Together with an edited introduction to Bezerra's work and world, this collection offers a rare insight into contemporary Spanish theatre for performance and study.Paco Bezerra is a recipient of numerous awards, including the National Literary Drama Award in 2009 and the Calderon de la Barca Theatre Drama Prize for New Authors in 2007. His plays have been premiered in eleven countries and translated in more than ten languages.
