{"product_id":"fornes-frame-book-anne-garcia-romero-9780816531448","title":"The Fornes Frame","description":"A key way to view Latina plays today is through the foundational frame of playwright and teacher Maria Irene Fornes, who has trained a generation of theatre artists and transformed the field of American theatre. Fornes, author of Fefu and Her Friends and Sarita and a nine-time Obie Award winner, is known for her plays that traverse cultural, spiritual, and aesthetic borders. \u003cbr\u003e In The Fornes Frame: Contemporary Latina Playwrights and the Legacy of Maria Irene Fornes, Anne Garcia-Romero considers the work of five award-winning Latina playwrights in the early twenty-first century, offering her unique perspective as a theatre studies scholar who is also a professional playwright. \u003cbr\u003e The playwrights in this book include Pulitzer Prize winner Quiara Alegria Hudes; Obie Award winner Caridad Svich; Karen Zacarias, resident playwright at Arena Stage in Washington, DC; Elaine Romero, member of the Goodman Theatre Playwrights Unit in Chicago, Illinois; and Cusi Cram, company member of the LAByrinth Theater Company in New York City. \u003cbr\u003e Using four key concepts cultural multiplicity, supernatural intervention, Latina identity, and theatrical experimentation Garcia-Romero shows how these playwrights expand past a consideration of a single culture toward broader, simultaneous connections to diverse cultures. The playwrights also experiment with the theatrical form as they redefine what a Latina play can be. Following Fornes s legacy, these playwrights continue to contest and complicate Latina theatre.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50362488553745,"sku":"CIN0816531447G","price":8.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0816531447.jpg?v=1763477459","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/fornes-frame-book-anne-garcia-romero-9780816531448","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
