Jacobo Langsner

Jacobo Langsner (born 23 June 1927 in Romuli, Transylvania)[1] is a Uruguayan playwright and writer with strong presence in the Uruguayan theatre since 1950. His work is a showcase of middle-class hypocrisy.

Maybe one of his greatest works was Waiting for the Hearse, which later was adapted into film in Argentina, another country where he was very successful.
