As part of the Everyone Has The Right writing programme, Catherine Boyle’s translation of Juan Radrigán’s Las Brutas will receive a rehearsed play reading on 9 Novmeber 2010.

Las Brutas is based on a true story of three Cola (indigenous Andean) sisters who, in October 1974, were found tied together and hanged from a rock near their home. The play delves into the last months in these women’s lives in the isolated mountains of Pinochet’s Chile.

Registration and Accommodation, Catering OTW ’10

Translating and performing the works of Miguel de Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Tirso de Molina and Calderón de la Barca, and other playwrights of the Golden Age have sparked an increasing amount of interest, heightened by the Royal Shakespeare Company’s 2004-5 Golden Age season. Our Symposium will be attended by both academic and theatrical practitioners working within the field of Golden Age drama, and a wider base of attendees interested in Spanish theatre in general, as well as University colleagues and students. Speakers will be drawn from the United States and Europe, representing a variety of areas of expertise in translation and performance of the comedia. Please explore our website (www.outofthewings.org) for more information on the project, and see the rest of the blog for past events.
