About this book

"El volumen incluye las primeras obras del autor. En un lenguaje en que se combina el realismo, la metafóra y la estética del teatro del absurdo, el autor desarrolla conflictos de relaciones de poder que logra plasmar en impactantes imágenes. En esta obra se anticipan la sátira social y el humor que caracterizarán sus obras posteriores. Las piezas breves son particularmente apropiadas para estudiantes de teatro"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

Cover of Lucky Lazlo

Lucky Lazlo

Steve Light

Lazlo chooses a red rose and ventures to the theater to present it to the performer he cherishes, only to have the rose grabbed by a mischievous cat who races around backstage, past actors dressed as characters from Alice in Wonderland.

Cover of Old times

Old times

Harold Pinter

Like Pinter's earlier plays. Pinter deals with bare essentials. There are only three characters -- a man named Deeley, his wife, Kate, and Anna, a friend of Kate's whom they have not seen in 20 years. Beneath the surface of their taut, witty conversation lurks suggestions of darkness, until the present is overwhelmed with intimations of some frightening past.

Cover of Raising Arizona

Raising Arizona

Joel Coen and Ethan Coen

It's easy to see why Raising Arizona is one of the best and most beloved films that Ethan and Joel Coen have yet to create. The cultish humor, original characters, fresh cinematography, catchy soundtrack, and zany yet well-structured plot to be found in this film are all Coen brothers trademarks. Nicholas Cage plays a veteran criminal who marries a prison guard named Edwina (Holly Hunter). Because he and his wife cannot conceive, our convict-hero kidnaps, with only the most earnest intentions, one of the famous "Arizona Quintuplets." A hellacious bounty-hunting biker and two old pals who have just escaped from the pen make it very hard for the couple to raise their child properly.
