Reviews

'Surveying recent productions of the plays in Italy, Argentina, Chile and the US, she persuasively demonstrates how culturally aware theatre practitioners imaginatively avoid folkloric and dehistoricized productions, and instead challenge non-Latin American audiences to think more politically about this region' -- Theatre Research International 'In addition to the wealth of details that emerge from close reading, the specific performance details that emerge from her individual interviews are especially valuable' -- Jon D. Rossini, Contemporary Theatre Review
