Staging Terror: Madrid 3/11 (Estreno Contemporary Spanish Plays, 30)

Harira by Ana Diosdado, Ana 3/11 by Paloma Pedrero and Oxygen by Yolanda Dorado were chosen from among the eleven one-act plays that were part of a commemorative event entitled, Eleven Voices Against Savagery, which marked the one-year anniversary of the 3/11/2004 terrorist attack in Madrid, Spain. Translated to English by Karen Leahy and Phyllis Zatlin from the original Spanish texts, these plays offer the perspectives of three generations of contemporary women dramatists on terrorism and its consequences. This collection offers brief introductions to each of the plays and authors, as well as a director's note and production photos.
