World Theatre Favorites - Dramas by Alejandro Casona (1903-1965)

About the Book

“I believe dreams are another reality as ‘real’ as daily toil, and tender loving tears are as human and respectable as any drop of sweat,” said Alejandro Casona.

After being translated into nine languages, Casona belongs as much to the World Theatre as to the Spanish theatre.

His works received enthusiastic reviews in the international press:

“Our first encounter with this poetic Spanish playwright was a surprisingly positive experience. He is powerfully, persuasively, convincing—something that has become a rarity in our theatre.” (Munchner Merkur, Munich, Germany.)

“Its exemplary balance, storytelling ease, and free-breathing dialogue charged with wit and tender sentiments, denote a first-rate playwright.” (Avgui, Athens, Greece.)

“A play wrought with the mastery of great writers, with an addition of poetic fantasy kept perfectly under rein.” (A Noite, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.)

This book brings you: OUR NATASHA, THREE PERFECT WIVES, SEVEN SCREAMS ACROSS THE SEA, THE KEY IN THE ATTIC, THE SEVEN BALCONY HOUSE, THE STRANDED SIREN and LETTER FROM A STRANGER.
