Just over one year after our first week of play readings with Out of the Wings, and the Spanish play I translated and directed for that season, Blanca Doménech’s The Sickness of Stone, has been published in extracts in the well-known literary translation journal, Asymptote.  This contemporary piece about the physical and psychological legacy of the Franco dictatorship is one of two play selected from Asymptote‘s summer issue.  The Sickness of Stone was premièred at Out of the Wings, before going on to be performed in readings in Madrid and New York, and published in Spanish in Mexico and Argentina.  This is the first time that it has been made available to readers in English.
