This anthology gathers together for the first time, both in Spanish and in new English translation, a carefully chosen selection of prominent adaptations of Greek tragedy by Cuban playwrights from the dawn of the Revolution to the present day.Spanning over eight decades (late 1940s-early 2020s), these eight pioneering plays rework ancient Greek myth to address the dilemmas of life in twentieth and twenty-first century Cuba and among the wider Cuban diaspora. Comprising compelling and at times contrasting mixtures of Cuban and Hellenic elements, these adaptations represent a rich tradition of engagement with ancient Greek drama that foregrounds contemporary Cuban social and political realities.Presented in a bilingual format, both in the original Spanish and a facing English translation, this anthology makes these innovative texts accessible to scholars, teachers, and students of multiple disciplines including Classics, Theatre & Performance Studies, and Spanish, Caribbean, & Latin American Studies.

The first comprehensive treatment in English of the rich and varied afterlife of classical drama across Latin America, this volume explores the myriad ways in which ancient Greek and Roman texts have been adapted, invoked and re-worked in notable modern theatrical works across North and South America and the Caribbean, while also paying particular attention to the national and local context of each play.A comprehensive introduction provides a critical overview of the varying issues and complexities that arise when studying the afterlife of the European classics in the theatrical stages across this diverse and vast region. Fourteen chapters, divided into three general geographical sub-regions (Southern Cone, Brazil and the Caribbean and North America) present a strong connection to an ancient dramatic source text as well as comment upon important socio-political crises in the modern history of Latin America. The diversity and expertise of the voices in this volume translate into a multi-ranging approach to the topic that encompasses a variety of theoretical and interdisciplinary perspectives from classics, Latin American studies and theatre and performance studies.

Winner of the London Hellenic Prize 2020The Greek Trilogy of Luis Alfaro gathers together for the first time the three ‘Greek’ plays of the MacArthur Genius Award-winning Chicanx playwright and performance artist. Based respectively on Sophocles’ Electra and Oedipus, and Euripides’ Medea, Alfaro’s Electricidad, Oedipus El Rey, and Mojada transplant ancient themes and problems into the 21st century streets of Los Angeles and New York, in order to give voice to the concerns of the Chicanx and wider Latinx communities. From performances around the world including sold-out runs at New York's Public Theater, these texts are extremely important to those studying classical reception, Greek theatre and Chicanx writers. This unique anthology features definitive editions of all three plays alongside a comprehensive introduction which provides a critical overview of Luis Alfaro’s work, accentuating not only the unique nature of these three ‘urban’ adaptations of ancient Greek tragedy but also the manner in which they address present-day Chicanx and Latinx socio-political realities across the United States. A brief introduction to each play and its overall themes precedes the text of the drama. The anthology concludes with exclusive supplementary material aimed at enhancing understanding of Alfaro’s plays: a ‘Performance History’ timeline outlining the performance history of the plays; an alphabetical ‘Glossary’ explaining the most common terms in Spanish and Spanglish appearing in each play; and a ‘Further Reading’ list providing primary and secondary bibliography for each play. The anthology is completed by a new interview with Alfaro which addresses key topics such as Alfaro’s engagement with ancient Greek drama and his work with Chicanx communities across the United States, thus providing a critical contextualisation of these critically-acclaimed plays.

Paths of Song: The Lyric Dimension of Greek Tragedy analyzes the multiple and varied evocations of choral lyric in fifth-century Greek tragedy using a variety of methodological approaches that illustrate the myriad forms through which lyric is present and can be presented in tragedy. This collection focuses on different types of interaction of Greek tragedy with lyric poetry in fifth-century Athens: generic, mythological, cultural, musical, and performative. The collected essays demonstrate the dynamic and nuanced relationship between lyric poetry and tragedy within the larger frame of Athenian song- and performance-culture, and reveal a vibrant and symbiotic co-existence between tragedy and lyric. Paths of Song illustrates the effects that this dynamic engagement with lyric possibly had on tragic performances, including performances of satyr drama, as well as on processes of survival and reputation, selection and refiguration, tradition and innovation. The volume is of particular interest to scholars in the field of classics, cultural studies, and the performing arts, as well as to readers interested in poetic transmission and in cultural evolution in antiquity.
