Paperback. Condition: New. The rich and varied 21st-century playwriting scene of Uruguay is showcased in this eclectic and fascinating collection, bringing together the work of established figures with that of provocative emerging artists, all published in English for the first time.Spanning several generations, the six award-winning dramatists featured in this volume are leading figures in shaping Uruguay's vibrant contemporary theatre landscape. Rooted in their experiences in Uruguay, while also looking out to the world beyond, their plays encompass styles ranging from realism to autofiction, and engage with themes including the challenges of parenthood, the search for identity, the legacies of Uruguay's literary giants, the processes and risks of making art, the limits between fiction and reality, and violence against women in contemporary society.The result of extensive research by co-editors Sophie Stevens and William Gregory, and featuring a comprehensive introduction by Stevens and foreword by translator and academic Adam Versényi, The Methuen Drama Book of Contemporary Uruguayan Plays offers an insight into a new-writing ecology of extraordinary range and depth that resonates far beyond the Río de la Plata.
