de la Parra</A></div> <div> Country :Chile</div> <bR> <div> translated by Prof. Charles Philip Thomas</div> <bR> <div>  Ophelia or the Dead Mother Ofelia o la madre muerta is the story of Shakespeare's Hamlet which is completely changed around by modifying the focus and changing the protagonist of the work.  The setting for the action is a medical clinic in Chile, or another Latin American country.  The author describes the scenery as ``A white house with bare walls.  Perhaps a very wealthy estate.  A white mansion in the Caribbean.  Maybe in a hospital.  A drug rehabilitation clinic.  A swimming pool.  Or, a whirlpool.  Perhaps a stream.  Palm trees.  The feeling of being surrounded by cliffs.  A refrigerator.  A table.  Some chairs.  A curtain.  Everything white.  Nothing like the Castle Elsinor.''</div> <bR> <bR> <div> Other plays by <A HREF="de_la_perra.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Marco Antonio de la Parra">Marco Antonio de la Parra</A></div> <bR> <div> <A
