About the author

(1913–84) Guatemalan playwright from a theatrical family. Galich began his career writing costumbrismos (costume dramas) with a political edge. His Papa-Natas (The Gullible, 1938) is often called the beginning of modern Guatemalan theatre. He was instrumental in the overthrow of the Jorge Ubico regime in 1944 and subsequently served as Minister of Education, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and ambassador to Argentina. Several of his plays, including El tren amarillo (The Yellow Train, 1957), deal with the economic imperialism of the United States. He supported the Castro revolution and helped establish the model for new political theatre in Cuba, where he lived for many years.
