The article presents information on the Mexican Theatre. It focuses on two plays- Las cosas simples and Los signos del zodiac. The first one is a play by a twenty-seven-year-old Mexican, Hector Mendoza. Its translated version in English is "The Simple Things." Furthermore, the latter one resembles Elmer Rice's Street Scene, uncovers the interrelated lives of several neighbors living in one of Mexico City's patio tenement houses. But the atmosphere is all Tennessee Wilhams: a caidron of love, youth, poverty, vulgarity, violence and symbolism.
