Four plays from the rich theatrical world of Catalan drama
Since the early 1990s, Catalonia has proven to the world that its
rich heritage and artistic tradition are worthy of focus and study.
The plays in the volume reflect the post-Franco era during which
Barcelona and other parts of Catalonia have become the focal point
for new dramatic expression.
Joan Brossa (1919-1998) was the spiritual father of this new
wave of artistic revolution in writing. His play The Quarrelsome
Party is a dark family drama as surreal as any bad dream. The
Audition by Rodolf Sirera has its roots in the author's anti-Franco
stance. This in-the-theatre drama has the mystery cat-and-mouse
playfulness of Anthony Shaffer's Sleuth. Benet i Jornet's play
Desire is a Beckettian mystery play about four unnamed characters.
Sergi Belbel represents the new generation of Catalan playwrights
and his plays have had wide appeal abroad. In Fourplay he
experiments with the idea of a sex farce and the play's 38 scenes
lead to wild conclusions.
