Ricardo López Aranda. An Appointed Meeting. A Play. Translated by Serhii Borshchevskyi

Ricardo López Aranda (1934-1996) was a famous Spanish playwright, film and television screenwriter, poet and novelist, one of the brightest representatives of the generation of playwrights that emerged in the mid-twentieth century and was largely guided by their prominent predecessors and contemporaries, Antonio Buero Vallejo and Alfonso Sastre, who are known in Ukraine (though not enough). It was a generation whose worldview and creativity were shaped by the events that coincided with their childhood - the Civil War (1936-1939) and the Second World War - and developed for almost two decades under General Franco's rule.
