Uruguayan playwright (1927–2020)

**Jacobo Langsner** (23 June 1927 – 10 August 2020)[1] was a Uruguayan playwright who had a strong presence in the Uruguayan theatre from 1950 onwards. His work is a showcase of middle-class hypocrisy.

Langsner was born in [Romuli](/source/Romuli),[2] [Kingdom of Romania](/source/Kingdom_of_Romania) in a Jewish family,[3] and died, aged 93, in [Buenos Aires](/source/Buenos_Aires), [Argentina](/source/Argentina).

One of his most highly regarded works is *[Waiting for the Hearse](/source/Waiting_for_the_Hearse).* It was [adapted into film](/source/Waiting_for_the_Hearse) in Argentina, another country where he was very successful.
