• Resumen

  • Beginning in 1977, Peru's Teatro Nacional Popular was beset with financial difficulties which caused a crisis in Peru's economy. In the following years, productions were scaled down or cancelled as the TNP's financial difficulties continued. Early in 1979, political changes in Peru's military government precipitated a change in the directorship and the mission of the TNP. The TNP went from a producing theatrical company to become an agency to promote Peruvian theatre. Late in 1979, the TNP staged one final, extravagant production which exhausted its resources and ended its active participation in Peruvian theatre.
