Reviews

"""I like the quality and scope of the translations. They are quite well done. They flow in English without losing essential aspects of the plays in the original language, and most importantly, would be stageworthy. ""This is a valuable addition to the relatively few existing anthologies of Latin American theatre (even fewer in print), and has the added benefit of concentrating on women playwrights who have frequently been absent from previous anthologies."" - Adam Versenyi, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill"
