In \u003ci\u003eLorca's Experimental Theater\u003c\/i\u003e, Andrew A. Anderson focuses on four of Lorca's most challenging plays \u003ci\u003eAmor de Don Perlimplín con Belisa en su jardín\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEl público\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAsí que pasen cinco años\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eEl sueño de la vida\u003c\/i\u003e (previously known as \u003ci\u003eComedia sin título\u003c\/i\u003e) and on the surrounding context in which they came to be written and in only one case performed during his lifetime. While none of Lorca's plays can be considered conventional, these four works stand out in his corpus for challenging theatrical conventions most forcefully, both thematically and technically.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith discussions of stagecraft, artistic modernism, and the historical avant-garde, \u003ci\u003eLorca's Experimental Theater\u003c\/i\u003e provides detailed interpretive readings of the four plays, surveys their textual and performative history, and examines the most important contemporary influences on Lorca's creation of these expressive, innovative works.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"LSU Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52670764941592,"sku":"9780807182505","price":34.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/lorcas-experimental-theater-breaking-the-guardrails-of-convention-hardback-9780807182505","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
