from Part III - Culture, Society, and Politics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 August 2025
Founding members of the award-winning theater and media company Fake Friends, Michael Breslin and Catherine María “Cat” Rodríguez are multifaceted artist-scholars who met while studying dramaturgy at Yale’s David Geffen School of Drama. Breslin and Rodríguez quickly connected over their respectively galvanizing encounters with the plays of María Irene Fornés and the provocations of Fornésian dramaturgy. Here, in both their short play Truffle Pigs and the short author’s note that precedes it, Breslin and Rodríguez deploy the tools of dramatic writing (and the incisiveness of their signature wit) to animate the multivocal mix of fervent disagreement, enthusiastic curiosity, and stubborn uncertainty that typically collide in scholarly and artistic investigations of the ways feminism does – and does not – define the dramaturgy of María Irene Fornés.
