 | The Mothers by Lavonne Mueller
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. Although not a character in the play, the charismatic Eva Peron is very much a presence as Doctor Ara prepares her cancer-ravaged body for burial, restoring her beauty for her adoring public. Years later, when her body is returned to Argentina after being taken to italy, the doctor must once again restore Evita's corpse. The play juxtaposes Doctor Ara's obsession with the corpse of Eva Peron with the painful and frustrating quest of Alicia and Esme to combat a cruel regime, represented by General Bonifaz. A powerful political drama, the play is more than a searing indictment of a brutally corrupt military regime. The Mothers is an imaginative, even poetic, re-creation of history, and perhaps more significant, a moving tribute to the mothers who continue to march in protest in the Plaza de Mayo even to this day. Using only four characters -- the two sisters, the doctor, and the general -- the playwright manages to create an impression of an entire society. AUTHOR: Lavonne Mueller
