The plays of Maria Martinez Sierra were popular in Spain, South
America and in translation on Broadway and London's West End in the
first half of the 20th century but they were thought to be written
by her husband, the celebrated director and playwright Gregorio
Martinez Sierra. After his death, the authorship of his work was
revealed to be that of Maria, making her one of the most important
playwrights of her time. This edited collection features three
plays by Maria Martinez Sierra, translated by Helen and Harley
Granville-Barker, along with an introduction by Patricia O'Connor,
University of Cincinnati, US, which examines Maria's extraordinary
life and work, and the battle for her authorship to be recognized
in both the Spanish-speaking and anglophone world. This volume
focuses on plays centred on strong women; and each is translated by
the eminent man of theatre Harley Granville-Barker and his wife,
Helen, whose own story holds stark parallels to Maria's in terms of
authorship. The collection is edited by playwright Richard Nelson
and Professor Colin Chambers, who contribute an essay on the
translation work of the Granville-Barkers. The plays are: The
Kingdom of God (1928); The Romantic Young Lady (1920) and Take Two
From One (1931). Maria Martinez Sierra: A Great Playwright Hidden
in Plain Sight recognizes Maria de la O Lejarraga Garcia, to use
her birth name, as one of the most important female playwrights,
not just in Spain, but globally, in the first half of the 20th
century.
