The Greek Trilogy of Luis Alfaro gathers together for the first time the three Greek plays of the MacArthur Genius Awardwinning Chicanx playwright and performance artist.Based respectively on Sophocles Electra and Oedipus, and Euripides Medea, Alfaros Electricidad, Oedipus El Rey, and Mojada transplant ancient themes and problems into the 21st century streets of Los Angeles and New York, in order to give voice to the concerns of the Chicanx and wider Latinx communities.From performances around the world including soldout runs at New Yorks Public Theater, these texts are extremely important to those studying classical reception, Greek theatre and Chicanx writers. This unique anthology features definitive editions of all three plays alongside a comprehensive introduction which provides a critical overview of Luis Alfaros work, accentuating not only the unique nature of these three urban adaptations of ancient Greek tragedy but also the manner in which they address presentday Chicanx and Latinx sociopolitical realities across the United States.A brief introduction to each play and its overall themes precedes the text of the drama. The anthology concludes with exclusive supplementary material aimed at enhancing understanding of Alfaros plays: a Performance History timeline outlining the performance history of the plays; an alphabetical Glossary explaining the most common terms in Spanish and Spanglish appearing in each play; and a Further Reading list providing primary and secondary bibliography for each play.The anthology is completed by a new interview with Alfaro which addresses key topics such as Alfaros engagement with ancient Greek drama and his work with Chicanx communities across the United States, thus providing a critical contextualisation of these criticallyacclaimed plays.
