La noche de los asesinos

Synopsis of La noche de los asesinos

«La noche de los asesinos» is the play by José Triana, published by Ediciones Cátedra in its Letras Hispánicas collection, in paperback (136 pages, in Spanish).

The play, winner of the 1965 Casa de las Américas Prize and premiered in Cuba in 1966, presents a family conflict that serves as a mirror of broader social tensions. Through the interplay between two siblings and their maid, Triana explores oppression, rebellion and memory, in a piece that combines dramatic intensity with resonances of the theater of the absurd.

This edition includes the edition by Daniel Meyran and is volume 517 of the Letras Hispánicas collection. The text was revised by José Triana himself for this 2001 publication.

Aimed at readers and students of Latin American literature, as well as those interested in Cuban dramaturgy and contemporary theater.
