The first comprehensive treatment in English of the rich and varied
afterlife of classical drama across Latin America, this volume
explores the myriad ways in which ancient Greek and Roman texts
have been adapted, invoked and re-worked in notable modern
theatrical works across North and South America and the Caribbean,
while also paying particular attention to the national and local
context of each play. A comprehensive introduction provides a
critical overview of the varying issues and complexities that arise
when studying the afterlife of the European classics in the
theatrical stages across this diverse and vast region. Fourteen
chapters, divided into three general geographical sub-regions
(Southern Cone, Brazil and the Caribbean and North America) present
a strong connection to an ancient dramatic source text as well as
comment upon important socio-political crises in the modern history
of Latin America. The diversity and expertise of the voices in this
volume translate into a multi-ranging approach to the topic that
encompasses a variety of theoretical and interdisciplinary
perspectives from classics, Latin American studies and theatre and
performance studies.
