BORDERLANDS THEATER TO PRESENT THE PLAY BURNING PATIENCE BY ANTONIO SKARMETA. APRIL 3-13 AT ZUZI ‘S THEATER, 738 NORTH 5TH AVENUE.
Nobel Prize Winning Chilean poet Pablo Neruda “lends” his poetry to Mario, a young letter carrier, to conquer the heart of his beloved Beatriz. In the process he opens their hearts to the world. The Academy Award winning film II Postino was adapted from this poetic play.
Antonio Skármeta, (born Nov. 7, 1940, Antofagasta, Chile), Chilean novelist, screenwriter, and diplomat, best known for his novel Ardiente paciencia (1985; Burning Patience) and for the film adaptations it inspired. He was the grandson of Yugoslav immigrants. He received an M.A. from Columbia University in 1966 and published his first book, a collection of short stories titled El entusiasmo (“Enthusiasm”), in 1967.
Ardiente paciencia, started as a novel that tells the story of an extraordinary friendship that develops between the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, living in exile, and his postman. Ardiente paciencia subsequently became Skármeta’s most popular work. It was translated into 20 languages and was adapted for the screen twice.
Featuring: Roberto Guajardo, Jason Chavez, Maria Gawne and Roseanne Couston
Directed by Barclay Goldsmith. Music Arrangement by Rebeca Cartes
