3 Contemporary Brazilian Plays

This revised edition of Three Contemporary Brazilian Plays shows the power and truth of Consuelo de Castro, Leilah Assumpgco and Plmnio Marcos resonates as strongly today as it did twenty years ago. With updated biographies and a new introduction, as well as a new preface by Brazilian theater scholar Elzbieta Szoka, this volume will astound readers unfamiliar with Brazilian drama and reinvigorate interest of experts in the field. A completely revised translation of Marcos's Two Lost in the Filthy Night gives the hopeless destitution of the 1960's a contemporary sound. The search for sexual satisfaction through fantasy and history rings ever more true for Assumpgco's frigid couple. And the existential madness of seperate lives/separate minds of de Castro's terminally married pair shows that communication still only happens over the rainbow. This bilingual edition once again introduces an English speaking audience to the brilliance of Brazilian theater.Szoka, Elzbieta is the author of '3 Contemporary Brazilian Plays ' with ISBN 9780924047305 and ISBN 0924047305.
