Tejas Verdes (Green Gables)

Details

It is better to remain quiet and to forget. That's the only thing we must do. We must forget...for-get: That's the word. And for that to happen, both sides must forget and continue with their work (General Pinochet). Fermin Cabal has become one of Spain's leading contemporary playwrights. Robert Shaw's translation of this humane and powerful story pieces together the life of Colorina, a young woman who vanishes one night in Santiago. The bells of St Stephen's. I've been listening to them ever since I was a little girl... I listened to them, but I couldn't hear them. You can listen and listen and listen and never hear a thing.
