Passion infiltrates politics when a lieutenant assigned to their case becomes infatuated with Maria Celia, whose literature he has been reading.
Press Reviews
"It's one of the most fascinating cat-and-mouse games to be seen on the stage."
— The Star-Ledger (NJ)
"Cruz's tightly constructed study of incarcerated sisters provides the spine for an authentic study of oppression that bends but never breaks the human spirit."
— Variety
