  • Beth Kander: THE ABUELAS by Stephanie Alison Walker
    “

    A companion to her terrific play The Madres, Stephanie Allison Walker's The Abuelas continues the ongoing story of the unrelenting impact of Argentina's Dirty War. The consequences of this dark period are still playing out in real life today, and through her play, Walker draws audiences in immediately, grabs them by the heart, and refuses to let them look away from this saga.

    A smart, deeply felt reminder of how history reverberates into the generations that follow. I was lucky enough to catch a reading of this piece at ANPF and found it full of rich characters and sharp dialogue. It's rare to see complex historical events handled so well onstage.

    It is a true master who can break your heart and then stitch it up again, which is what Ms. Walker has accomplished here in the Abuelas. A rich exploration of the act of forgiveness. I am so glad this play exists. Read THE MADRES, then pick your jaw off the ground and read THE ABUELAS. Rinse; Repeat.

    A simply gorgeous play about love and personal and public redemption. The characters in The Abuelas are layered and complex, the situation heart-breaking, the ending completely satisfying. I'm looking forward to seeing this one in production.
