Unitec presents ... WIDOWS
Unitec presents ... WIDOWS
By Ariel
Dorfman and Tony Kushner
Directed by John Davies
Featuring Unitec's 2014 Year 2 actors in their first
full production at Unitec Theatre
Beside the river, an old
woman waits.
The younger women bicker and are lost in the
grief of their village.
These are evil days, men are
murdered, and others simply disappear.
The military
junta carve up the land like a roasted goat.
Then
something appears in the river, and the soldiers start to
lose control.
Widows, by Ariel Dorfman and Tony
Kushner, is a powerful indictment of the military
dictatorships that ruled in much of Latin America in the
later half of the 20th century. The play deals with the
lives of a group of widows and how, under the leadership of
their matriarch, they evoke from the river a truth that
cannot be denied.
