Pablo Remón, National Prize for Dramatic Literature for 'Doña Rosita, annotated'

The jury has chosen this text "because it is an honest work that solves with success, depth and in a suggestive way the risk of starting from the creation of Lorca, known and entrenched in the canon, giving it its own identity based on self-fiction".
