關於本電子書
"Neva's neobrutalist punch demonstrates . . . the enduring power of art."—Time Out New York
"Brilliant and provocative."—TheatreMania
"A lovely, disturbing drama . . . Calderón's drama is Chekhovian in the best sense."—The Village Voice
This politically charged, haunting yet humorous meditation on theater and the revolutionary impulse tells the story of three actors, including Anton Chekhov's widow, who gather to rehearse scenes from The Cherry Orchard as Russia faces an impending revolution. A savage examination of the relationship between theater and historical context, Neva is the author's first play, which he directed for its English language premiere at the Public Theater in New York City.
Guillermo Calderon is Chile's foremost contemporary theater artist.
