...list of contributors is itself like a fresh breeze when the Charles is in full summer odor. There has been no attempt to find big-name authors whose hasty contributions would give the magazine an inviting surface but sewer-like depth.

There is no trace of strain in Lorca's imaginative forays; he evokes intense and genuine emotion without fighting against the unreal setting of the theatre. But because the play recognizes...
