''Short Eyes'' is a 1974 drama written by playwright Miguel Piñero. The play premiered off-Broadway at the Joseph Papp Public Theater on 28 February 1974, and transferred after 54 performances to the Vivian Beaumont Theater on Broadway on 23 May 1974. ''Short Eyes'', prison slang for a pedophile, was written for a prisoners' writing workshop during Pinero's incarceration for armed robbery. ==Characters== * Clark Davis: a middle-class white man in his mid-twenties accused of raping a young girl. While it is never explicitly stated whether he committed the crime he is accused of, it is made clear that he is a pedophile who has molested several other children. * Juan Otero: A Puerto Rican man in his early thirties. He is liked and respected by his fellow prisoners and the guards alike. * Cupcakes: A Puerto Rican "pretty boy" of 21 who is coveted by many of the House's convicts. * Paco: A Puerto Rican drug addict with predatory designs on Cupcakes. * Longshoe: A tough, hip Irishman in his mid-thirties, and the only white prisoner whom the black and Hispanic prisoners respect. He despises Davis. * Ice: A tough, angry black man in his late twenties. * El Raheem: A militant Muslim who preaches the word of Allah to his fellow prisoners. * Omar: A black amateur boxer in his mid-twenties. * Mr. Nett: An old-line prison guard who takes an immediate dislike to Davis. * Captain Allard: Nett's superior officer. Imposing and macho, he has little patience for the prisoners. 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「Short Eyes (play)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
