5.0 out of 5 stars
great new plays, March 17, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Out of the Fringe (Paperback)
"Out of the Fringe" provides an electric and eclectic new world of plays by latinas/latinos. Thanks to this handsome new anthology, latino/latina theater is shown to alive and thriving in the U.S., whether in the hands of gay activist chicano humorist Luis Alfaro or lyrical cuban-american Nilo Cruz. Caridad Svich, who compiled the anthology, has an extremely musical incantatory play included as well. It is a testament to the energetic state of latino/latina theater and thought that mixed-blood chicano Oliver Mayer writes a play which has but a single latina character and whose themes are national more than regional. This is a must-read. These plays should be done!
