Jacobo Langsner
Jacobo Langsner (23 June 1927, Romuli, Kingdom of Romania – 10 August 2020, Buenos Aires, Argentina)[1] was a Uruguayan playwright with strong presence in the Uruguayan theatre since 1950. His work is a showcase of middle-class hypocrisy.
One of his most highly regarded works is Waiting for the Hearse. It was adapted into film in Argentina, another country where he was very successful.
