Alejandro Ricano's Idiots Contemplating the Snow: The Challenges of Translating Mexican Theater

The purpose of this thesis is to introduce a young Mexican dramatist and to situate his plays within the context of contemporary Mexican theater, highlighting how Alejandro Ricano's work reflects and differs from his theatrical heritage. Later in the introduction, I describe the theoretical framework and the process that I followed in translating Idiots Contemplating the Snow.
