Caridad Svich’s EN EL TIEMPO DE LAS MARIPOSAS (In the Time of the Butterflies) based on Julia Álvarez’s novel, directed by José Zayas
The story of the courageous Mirabal sisters (Patria, Minerva and María Teresa) from the Dominican Republic. The sisters inspired resistance cells throughout the country against the dictatorial regime of Gen. Rafael Leónidas Trujillo. The martyred butterflies come to vibrant life in a warm, brilliant, and dramatic production. “... the actresses playing them look smashing (and very much like the real Mirabals) in their stylishly feminine 1940s and ‘50s dresses and little hats...” – The New York Times. “En el tiempo de las Mariposas is absorbing and gorgeous theatre.” –nytheatre.com.
