One of Latin America's most important and prolific writers, Griselda Gambaro has focused on the dynamics of repression, complicity, and violence—specifically, the terror of violent regimes and their devastating effects on the moral framework of society. Information for Foreigners is a drama of disappearance, an experimental work dealing with the theme of random and meaningless punishment in which the audience is led through darkened passageways to a series of nightmarish tableaux. The collection also includes The Walls and Antigona Furiosa.

Novelista y dramaturga, Griselda Gambaro nació en Buenos Aires en 1928. Comenzó a escribir tempranamente, dedicándose en principio a la narrativa, género que alternó después con la dramaturgia. Desempeñó distintos trabajos hasta que la obtención de premios y la percepción de sus derechos de autor le permitieron, hacia 1982, vivir de su tarea específica. Durante la dictadura militar argentina, un decreto del general Videla prohibió su novela “Ganarse la muerte” por encontrarla contraria a la institución familiar y al orden social. Debido a ésto y a la situación imperante, se exilió en Barcelona, España. Actualmente reside en un barrio suburbano de la provincia de Buenos Aires. Griselda Gambaro was born in Buenos Aires. Although known primarily as one of Latin America's most accomplished dramatist, she began her literary career by writing novellas and short stories. She has won several prestigious national awards in Argentina and has been a Guggenheim Fellow in the United States. El Campo is the most powerful of her more than dozen plays.
