Sinopse

José María Rodríguez Méndez is a noted playwright, an acerbic cultural critic, and a political dissident under Franco. In Performing Spanishness, the first English-language examination of Méndez?s life and work, Michael Thompson sets the playwright?s lifelong struggle against censorship in the context of Spain?s shifting national identity. Méndez?s work presents ?Spanishness? not as a static trait, but as an ongoing performance, Performing Spanishness is an indispensable resource to those interested in theatre, Spain, and the relationship between art and activism.
