The celebrated Chilean playwright Guillermo Calderón has made the list of the Best of Los Angeles Theater in 2011 with his play NEVA.
NEVA played at at RADAR L.A. during the TCG conference in June to great acclaim.

Here is what LA Weekly says about NEVA:

“In the Radar L.A. fest in June, Chile’s Teatro el Blanco presented writer-director Guillermo Calderón’s three-character drama, NEVA, about the anxiety of Anton Chekhov’s widow, Olga Knipper, wrestling with guilt from playing at the Moscow Art Theatre while her husband was dying of tuberculosis in Yalta, and while the Russian revolution was fomenting. As Olga,Trinidad Gonzalez gave a performance with the full blast of range, from slapstick comedy to stridency to the tenderest of pathos, and the production, bathed in soft candlelight, was nothing short of a conjuring”.
