Charles Darwin, Her True Story at Potrero Stage

Charles Darwin, Her True Story celebrates Latin American revolutionaries and the revolutionary potential that we all carry within.

It is January 1, 2001 in the south of Chile. A wealthy backer of Latin American revolutions appears shipwrecked on a shrinking patch of thin ice along with a ghost, a gun, a knife, and a secret admirer. Stories of questionable relations with Pablo Neruda, Frida Kahlo, Fidel Castro and others hold clues for survival, but for just one. 

Charles Darwin, Her True Story was one of four plays selected through a national search conducted by North Star (NYC) for their 2020 New Plays Workshop Intensive, the Playwrights Center (Minneapolis) for their first 2021 Open Play Showcase Actors Reading , and by the Dramatists Guild (Northern California) for their 2021 Footlights Actor Reading Series.  Latinx Mafia is producing the play at Potrero Stage as part of PlayGround's 2022 Innovators Showcase Festival.

Livestream ticket options allow On-Demand viewing for one week after the show.
