As part of Queen’s Quarter Weekends, Play in a Day presents a dramatised reading of Ernesto Caballero’s thriller En la roca, translated as On the Rock by Sarah Maitland:

The year is 1937. Across Spain, a brutal civil war is raging. In the famous Hotel Rock of Gibraltar, two young men reminisce over the course of an evening about their Cambridge days. In a meeting where nothing is quite what it seems, the fate of the Second Spanish Republic and the very course of World War Two rests in their hands. On the Rock invites its audience to step back in time to the inter-war years and the smoke-filled world of international espionage...

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.

For the fourth year running, the Euro Theatro Association, in collaboration
with Rose Bruford College in London, the Spanish Ministry for Culture
(INAEM and the Department for the Promotion of Books, Reading and Spanish
Arts), and Caos Editorial, proudly presents rehearsed readings in English translation
of three plays by contemporary Spanish authors.
