“Francesco Arrivi: (1915-2007) Puerto Rico’s most important dramatist. Arrivi’s early plays, such as El diablo se humaniza (1940), Club de solteros (1940) and Alumbramiento (1945), were realistic social documentaries. His later work grew increasingly poetic, with more carefully drawn characters, as in his trilogy about Puerto Rico’s history and people, Mascara puertorrignena ((1971).”
