Macbeth turns in his grave


Macbeth turns in his grave

On December 30th, my latest play will premiere in Madrid, a short comedy entitled “Si Macbeth levantara la cabeza” (Macbeth turns in his grave).

Performances will take place from Thursday to Sunday (except on December 31st and January 1st) until January 23rd. The 15-minute play will be performed several times every evening for small groups of spectators according to a schedule that can be checked here.

The venue Microteatro por Dinero, a very interesting cultural initiative that you just cannot miss. It is located in number 9 of the street Loreto y Chicote, between the underground stations of Gran Vía and Callao. On the following video you can learn more about their project (only in Spanish).

I’ll try to be in Madrid on the 15th to attend one of the performances, as this will be the first time that one of my plays is produced without my involvement. I can’t wait to see my characters in action!

Bookshops

La Reforma IncompletaI have updated the section devoted to The Unfinished Masterpiece with new links where to buy the book, including Casa Del Libro and Amazon UK.

The Unfinished Masterpiece received the IX Martín Recuerda theatre award. It’s the story of three siblings trapped in a mansion so huge that they have forgotten the way out.

The play is available as a bilingual edition including the text both in English and Spanish, with both versions written by the author.

So how did that go?

I haven’t fully realized my self-promise to write all 12 episodes of the second season of Mrs. Carrington. But I’ve drafted 11! So that makes me quite happy. Plus, I’ve written two short plays and, if everything goes well, one will soon premiere in a Madrid venue. But I don’t want to jump ahead (further details soon) or steal the limelight from all you nanowriters who’ve poured fifty-odd thousand words on their keyboards, with all the strokes (hopefully keystrokes rather than heartstrokes) that that that means. I must congratulate my dear GüntheradharaImgrot and Rain Michael for their succesful efforts, though there is no better reward than the creature itself that they cradle in their trembling hands. They still have to raise her, yes, but the birth is done!

So where else are congratulations due? How did it go for you?

Beta-readers

Currently I’m working on my first full-length English-language novel. As this is not my mother language, I’ll be happy to count on native English speakers for comment and revision.
