Alfred Seymour Hopkins (born May 1, 1938, Los Angeles, California ; died November 27, 2016, Mount Joy, Pennsylvania) was an
American journalist, drama educator, poet, teacher, and dramatist. He graduated from the University of California, Berkeley
in 1962 with a degree in social science/journalism. From 1962 to 1966 he worked at three daily newspapers in the United States.
From 1966 to 1969, he traveled extensively throughout Latin America working as a freelance journalist covering news focusing
on peace anhd social justice. In 1972, he returned to Latin America, eventually settling in Buenos Aires, Argentina for the

plays in English and created a solo performance of "Hamlet" which he performed at La Casa de las Americas in Havana, Cuba
