La niña de cera

La niña de cera is a play written by Maritza Núñez and tells of the life of Gabriela Mistral, a well-known poet and diplomat from chile who lived in the 20th century. The whole play is a monologue and is written in both verse and prose, there were parts in which the actress would start singing and dancing.

We didn´t actually see the play, we read the script accompanied by Maritza Núñez, the playwright, and afterwards we were able to ask her questions about the process of writing a play, her experiences and how what where the differences and complications on writing a play in the form of a monologue. Maritza answered all our questions and also shared osme of her experiences, she told us how the play had been received in Europe and mainly around the world.

This was a great opportunity we all had to know more about the writing aspect of theatre, not only about its process but also about the tasks required in order to write a play.
