by Ariel Dorfman
translated from the Spanish by Stephen Kessler, and dramatised by Gregory Evans.
Greece, sometime in the recent part of its turbulent modern history: peasant women without men defy all attempts by the local military authority to stop them making conflicting claims over bodies that turn up in the river.
Although set in Greece, to escape Chilean censorship, the play is a thinly-disguised portrayal of the suffering of millions of peasants in Latin America today.

Read by Gavin Campbell (1) On a wet and cold night near
Paris, a motorist draws up at a country bar and asks for a telephone. He rings the local police station to confess to a brutal murder committed just hours earlier. But what of the motive? A crime of passion - or something deeper, more elemental, rooted in the murderer's past?
