Kasten: José Tamayo in Spanish America, 1949-1951 José Tamayo in Spanish America, 1949-1951 In 1949 José Tamayo embarked his Compañía Lope de Vega on a two-year tour of Spanish America, visiting fifty-two cities in seven different countries.1 Theater critics view this tour as essential in understanding the career trajectory of one of the most important Spanish theater directors of the twentieth-century. Yet details of the tour have been largely ignored, inhibiting in-depth analysis of Tamayo’s early career. A recent dissertation by Juan Miguel Tévar Angulo uses Tamayo’s personal archive to furnish new information about the tour.
