by Uruguayan playwright Omar Varela
performed by our friends at The Montevideo Players Society
the oldest English-speaking amateur dramatic society in South America.
3 Performances ONLY
August 29, 30, and 31
Friday and Saturday, 9 p.m.
Sunday, 7 p.m.
at The Playhouse, Moreno 80, San Isidro
For the first time in their history, the Montevideo Players bring to the stage a play by a Uruguayan playwright.
In this touching dramatic comedy, three adult siblings reunite at their late mother’s house, where long-hidden secrets, rivalries, and emotional memories emerge.
Inspired by Varela’s own family, the play invites us to reflect on the complexities of relationships with a mix of humour, tenderness, and truth.
This event marks yet another collaboration between the Suburban Players and the Montevideo Players, part of a renewed cultural exchange initiative between our two groups. We are proud to host their performance in Buenos Aires and will be bringing our own production of Closer to Montevideo later this year.
Join us afterward in the foyer for a drink and a chat with the cast!
Running time: 55 minutes
