Crossroads, and Other Plays
He taught at several universities in the United States, too - including Columbia University, the University of Southern California, and the University of Kansas. He is presently "Professor de Carrera" at the Universidad Autonoma and editor, for Latin America, of the Enciclopedia Mundial del Teatro Contemporaneo. His contributions to the theater in Latin America range from articles in theater journals to theater histories and anthologies to the original plays that concern us here. His extraordinary work in this last area of contribution was recognized in 1989 when he received the "Premio Nacional de Literatura 'Miguel Angel Asturias'" in Guatemala, an honor which, in his words, "me lleno de satisfaccion." In this volume, Francesca Colecchia presents us with plays by Solorzano that will give us pause to think. Here are intriguing works - the themes ranging from a reenactment of Christ's crucifixion to a political allegory to an exploration of the reason for man's existence.
An Early Apocalypse
Seven years after his encounter in the past, Joaquin Alameda is now settled into middle aged life with a loving family and a flourishing career. He is more secure than ever in his faith as well as in his sense of self-worth. However he is no fool, and upon returning from the past had long wondered when Lucifer would fulfill his promise to strike at him again. Joaquin's fear was certainly well warranted, as the Prince of Darkness is now obsessed with exacting his revenge on the man who thwarted his perfect plan. To do so, he will unleash the antichrist prior to his appointed time, to test Joaquin's faith in ways that he never thought possible in order to deliver Joaquin personally to Lucifer in hell. How will Joaquin withstand the challenge of a man with no equal, during a time when the only true threat to the antichrist - the returning Christ - is not expected to return owing to the fact that prophecy must be fulfilled as it is written? This time, he is truly on his own!
