What’s Left for Guillermo Calderón
The Chilean playwright makes sly, playful frames for serious questions and unfinished political business.

Playwright Bio
Guillermo Calderón is a Chilean playwright and director based in New York. His first play as a writer was Neva, which he also directed. The play won multiple awards including: Best Play of the year in 2006 by the Art Critics Circle of Chile. Since then, Mr. Calderón’s plays have extensively toured the world.

He is currently working on a commission from the Public Theater in New York City.
“The Chilean-born writer and director Guillermo Calderón is an authentic genius of the theatre….you can’t say you’ve heard or seen any of it before, which may make you want to hear and see it again.”
—The New Yorker
