Leilah Assunção, or Leilah Assumpção (born Maria de Lourdes Torres de Assunção, 1943) is a Brazilian dramatist, actress and writer. She has been classed as among the two major women playwrights of Brazil, the other being Maria Adelaide Amaral.〔(Tentative transgressions: homosexuality, AIDS, and the theater in Brazil by Severino João Medeiros Albuquerque, pg 32 )〕 Her first play, ''Fala Baixo Senão Eu Grito'' (Speak Quietly or I’ll Scream), won the Molière award from the theatre critics of São Paulo when it was staged in 1969. She aimed to shock the audience by her choice of topic and language: depicting a middle-aged woman meeting an intruder. She was one of the leaders of New Theatre in the 1960s and several of her early plays were banned by censors. ==References== * Irwin Stern, ''Dictionary of Brazilian Literature'' - pp. 44–45 * Larson & Vargas (ed.), ''Latin American Women Dramatists: Theater, Texts, and Theories'', Indiana University Press (1999), ISBN 0-253-21240-5 - pp. 202–214 * David George, ''Flash and Crash Days: Brazilian Theater in the Post-Dictatorship Period'', Routledge (1999), ISBN 0-8153-3360-9 - pp. 66–8 * (Bio details, Itaú Cultural Institute ) - in Portuguese 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leilah Assunção」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
