| Summary: | This play describes a teaching centre for young people who are blind, where a false unity is maintained by a mixture of fear, coercion and diversion and where education is seen as to play a part in the regime's ideological apparatus and to encourage the acceptance of pleasant and reassuring myths. Arguably Spain's leading playwright of the twentieth century, Antonio Buero-Vallejo published thirty original plays. In the Burning Darkness was the first play he wrote. The seminal, and lasting, significance of this play was confirmed when an extract from it was read over Buero-Vallejo's grave on the day of his burial. |
