ABSTRACT
This article seeks to examine the impact of the actor-director Enrique Rambal (1889–1956), a figure who enjoyed great popular success in the period between 1920 and his death in 1956, but who remains conspicuously absent from published theatre histories of the period. Drawing on existing critical material as well as oral testimonies obtained from collaborators and individuals who recall seeing Rambal's work, it will seek to argue why he has been subject to such neglect and indicate his position as a key director of the era.
