«Los tres usos del cuchillo» is David Mamet's essay on the nature and function of drama, published by Alba Editorial in paperback (112 pages).
Mamet brings together essays on the function of drama and its link to everyday life. For him, dramatizing responds to a human need, summed up in «once upon a time… the years passed… and one day». With autobiographical touches, he offers keys to detecting the deceitful and self-complacent theater of the media society.
Original title: Three Uses of the Knife. Translation by María Faidella. Part of the Performing Arts collection (no. 12) from Alba Editorial.
For readers interested in theater theory, dramatic writing and criticism of the media society.
