Abstract
This article studies identity formation and performance in Paloma Pedrero’s La llamada de Lauren… (1984). It explores the intersection of sex, gender, and sexuality in the intimate space of marriage. The private space of Pedro and Rosa’s apartment reveals the challenges posed by societal norms and expectations which extend into private exchanges. This topic is discussed in the context of teaching Spanish as a second language to advanced students of the language. It also offers pedagogical exercises for implementing the play in intermediate to advanced courses of second language acquisition.
