Her artistic vision and legacy – recognised by Tony Kushner, Paula Vogel, Lanford Wilson and Edward Albee – shine through the pages of this inspiring book." - Maria Delgado, director of research at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, University of London, author of Federico García Lorca "An elegantly-formulated exploration of the works of five award-winning Latina playwrights in the early twenty-first century (Quiara Alegría Hudes, Caridad Svich, Karen Zacarías, Elaine Romero, Cusi Cram) that also narrates myriad ways that María Irene Fornés (her writing, her teaching, her example) instigated and inspired an influential generation of Latina playwrights." -Brian Herrera, Associate Professor, Princeton University and author of Latin Numbers: Playing Latino in Twentieth-Century U.S. Popular Performance |
