Psst, I Have Something to Tell You, Mi Amor (Wings Press; San Antonio, plays, 2005)
Teatro Vista Award winner Castillo turns her eye on the stage in this slender volume. Based on the author’s poem, “Like the People of Guatemala, I Want to be Free of These Memories,” (I ASK THE IMPOSSIBLE).
Comprised of both a one-act and a two-act play, this powerful dramatic pairing centers on Sister Dianna Ortiz, who was kidnapped, raped, and tortured by U.S.-sponsored Guatemalan security forces in 1989.
“Ana Castillo might be one of this city’s greatest untapped theatrical resources.” –Chicago Tribune.
