«Interview de Mrs Morte Smith par ses fantômes» is a one-act play by Agustín Gómez-Arcos, in a bilingual edition from Actes Sud (paperback).
In a science-fiction setting, the corpse of Mrs Morte Smith, embodiment of an opulent and decadent America, is disemboweled by her dog Boby. Dead, she keeps her voice and obsessions; Boby becomes a journalist, God, Satan and Mao. Satire and buffoonery mix in an iconoclastic, blasphemous and violent farce about social decay.
Written in Spanish though unpublished in that language, it was published in 1985 with a French translation by Rachel Salik and runs to 156 pages.
Will appeal to readers of satirical and avant-garde theatre, and to those wishing to compare the French and Spanish versions.
