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.

Las historias reunidas en Mañana hablarán de nosotros habitan en los confines de ese territorio de anhelos y contradicciones que es la Cuba actual. Las múltiples caras de la Isla son el escenario utilizado por un nutrido grupo de escritores para desarrollar diecinueve cuentos regidos por las ingobernables leyes del amor y del deseo.Con una prosa exuberante que aúna el gusto por el exceso y el cuidado por los pequeños detalles, los autores expresan una decidida voluntad de dejar atrás las "maniobras del secreto" y mirar sin ambages las diferentes expresiones que la sexualidad —y la sensualidad— encuentra en su país. La fascinante mezcolanza de culturas, razas e ideologías sustenta una mirada provocadora e inconformista a la realidad LGTB que convierte este libro en un acontecimiento literario en el panorama de las letras hispanas contemporáneas."Hombres y mujeres que piensan a Cuba desde la sexualidad que no pacta con códigos castrantes, desde la Isla o fuera de ella, son los protagonistas de este volumen (…) Son autores que no tienen que pactar ya con las escaramuzas del secreto, que dejan a un lado las formas en las que, hasta no hace tanto, se debía inducir al lector para que comprendiera de qué se hablaba. El desparpajo, la transparencia, la confesión, son ahora las claves esenciales" (Norge Espinosa)
