The three plays which make up \u003cem\u003eA Female Scene\u003c\/em\u003e illustrate beautifully the new direction in Catalan drama where the more feminine values of fluidity, empathy and variety challenge the conventions of established drama. \u003cem\u003e'Magnolia Cafe'\u003c\/em\u003e is a subversive re-working of the \u003cem\u003eComedy of Manners\u003c\/em\u003e whilst \u003cem\u003e'An Absent Look'\u003c\/em\u003e deconstructs tragedy, the bastion of theatrical dynamics. Similarly, in its divergent, empathetic idiom \u003cem\u003e'Re-call'\u003c\/em\u003e - an evocation of the free-thinking nineteenth-century intellectual Lou Andreas Salome - underlines this dramatic challenge to the vision of previous Catalan theatre. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Female Scene\u003c\/i\u003e is published in conjunction with the Anglo-Catalan Society. The Anglo-Catalan Society exists to promote awareness and appreciation of Catalan culture in the British Isles and to encourage cultural relations between the two communities.","brand":"Five Leaves Publications","offers":[{"title":"Book","offer_id":1040905852,"sku":"9781905512201","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/7369\/products\/2_2_55e66c1a-f2c2-4375-97aa-0b20e9b531ea.jpeg?v=1752237984"}],"url":"https:\/\/inpressbooks.co.uk\/collections\/araceli-bruch\/merce-sarrias.oembed","provider":"Inpress Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
