I'm reading this play (in Spanish) in my Pre-AP Spanish class. It's really quite moving, and I think that it's easy to read as long as you've taken at least three years of high school Spanish or Spanish is your first language. Unfortunately, I don't know how good the translation is, but the original is extremely powerful. I'd definitely recommend the play for older readers.

My contempory Spanish lit class at Vanderbilt read this play, and I thought it was a truly masterful piece of work. Aside from the contemporary political themes touched upon, this play also serves as a marvelously crafted religious alegory; Ignatius serves as a strong Christ-figure, and is just as persistent in his mission to point out the foly and blindness of others who will not accept it. En la ardiente oscuridad" adresses a universal theme, our "sentimiento tragico de la vida," to use Unamuno's phrase. This play is for anyone who is tempted to deny his or her own blindness; it is also for anyone who struggles daily with the conflict between comfort and truth; it is also for those who love the teachings of Christand his quest to reveal spiritual blindness wherever he found it. Read this play.

Soy un estudiante de español. Estoy en mi cuarto año de español aquí en los estados unidos. Nosotros leimos esta obra y escribimos sobre la obra en un análisis critical de texto. Creo que esta obra es una expresión sobre la vida en España después de la Guerra Civil Española. Todo el mundo necesita leer esta obra. Explica la diferencía entre la realidad y la fantasía.

i am an actor grom HK, i had acted this play, "in the buring darkness" is a very good play, it can train actor. although, we translated it into chinese, we also keep its own poetic writing. if you read, you will find a lot of excitment....
