This book explores the textured process of rewriting and revising
theatrical works in the Spanish-speaking Caribbean as both a
material and metaphorical practice. Deftly tracing these themes
through community theater groups, ancient Greek theater,
religious traditions, and national historical events, Katherine
Ford weaves script, performance and final product together with
an eye to the social significance of revision. Ultimately, to
rewrite and revise is to re-envision and re-imagine stage
practices in the twentieth-century Hispanic Caribbean.
