Description

"Based on actual events in Argentina during the period 1952-1976, this play dramatizes the efforts of two sisters (Alicia and Esme) to locate their children and other missing relatives who have mysteriously "disappeared," a fate shared by many Argentinians during those tumultuous decades.". "The play juxtaposes Doctor Ara's obsession with the corpse of Eva Peron and the painful, frustrating quest of the sisters to combat a cruel regime, represented by General Bonifaz. A powerful political drama, the play is also a touching human tragedy. Using only four characters the playwright manages to create an impression of an entire society."--BOOK JACKET.
