Antonio Buero Vallejo (1916 - 2000) is the most important Spanish playwright of the post-war generation. He is the author of almost three dozen pessimistic plays (The Dream of Reason, The Story of a Staircase, Now is the Holiday);, & In the Burning Darkness, & Words on the Sand, & The Dream Weaver) with elements of sharp social and political criticism. He was awarded a number of literary and theatre prizes, including the Lope de Vega Prize (1949) and the Cervantes Prize (1986). Buero Vallejo's later dramas show the influence of Bertolt Brecht, whose works he translated.
