Casting Announced for Galleon Theatre Company's THE MAIAS, Opens March 8
by Lauren Wolman - Feb 6, 2011


José Maria Eça de Queirós (1845-1900), was the founding father of the Portuguese novel. He was a remarkable writer whom Émile Zola described as being ‘far greater than my own master, Flaubert.' He was a master of satire who sought to expose the hypocrisy of a provincial Lisbon society which slavishly paid homage to the cultural eminence of Paris and Romanticism. Eça's fiction is characterised by its barbed humour and lyrical descriptions but it is also tempered by a touching sympathy for humanity's foibles.
