The full collection features new translations of five contemporary plays written by some of the region's most exciting writers. Each play is accompanied by an illuminating interview with its author conducted by the theatre director, Sebastian Doggart, who has also selected and translated the plays and provided an introductory history of Latin American drama.

Rappaccini's Daughter by Octavio Paz
A play by the Mexican Nobel laureate.
Night of the Assassins by José Triana
A controversial Cuban play in which three siblings plot the murder of their parents.

Mistress of Desires by Mario Vargas Llosa
