Finished in just over an hour, what a gripping play, deals with trauma in such a moving way as well as huge political issues while staying in the confines of the house.

*Read for university*
In a concise performance, this play explores personal trauma, historical human rights violations, the failures of a well-intentioned system, and forces the viewer to consider the validity of different kinds of justice. It's an incredible examination of the horrific human rights violations of the "banana republic" era in Latin America through personal narrative. This play aims to unsettle you and force you to reconsider your societally-instituted opinions on right and wrong, proper justice, and interpersonal relationships. I hope to see this play on stage one day!
