WOMEN OF SAND
Written by Humberto Robles
Trans to English by Amanda Federici

From the writer of "Frida Kahlo Viva La Vida!", A political play about the female homicides of Juarez.

According to official reports, in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, over 460 women have been murdered and over 800 are still missing. No specific action has been taken to stop this appalling female homicide, neither by the Mexican government, local authorities nor by international corporations. The victims are young women and migrants. All the victims have names, faces and stories that are ignored most of the times.

At the Oval House Theatre downstairs.
