About the Show

Repetorio Espanol presents a journey to the Colombia of Gabriel García Márquez that explores the grisly murder of an innocent man and the guilt of a village.

Each of the townsfolk recount the fateful Monday morning when the Vicario twins took their revenge on Santiago Nasar for deflowering their sister. Any one of dozens of people might have been able to stop the brutal knifing right on his doorstep, but somehow the moment eluded them. A spectacular wedding, a savage scandal, and a murder to which an entire Latin American town appears to be an accessory to the fact. Performed in Spanish with English subtitles.

Absorbing, Great acting, Great writing, Resonant, Thought-provoking

See it if You love plays that explore the darker side of human nature with raw honesty, without any elements of sentimentality or PCness.

Don't see it if You have trouble dealing with human nature's dark side, and would rather see something with a Hollywood ending.

Delightful, Absorbing, Great staging, Great acting, Refreshing

See it if You are a fan of latinamerican literature and you love great theater.

Don't see it if You don't want to see a great piece of theater.

Clever, Confusing, Disappointing, Intelligent

See it if You like latin theater that challenges an audience.

Don't see it if You aren't Hispanic, the play can quickly isolate non Spanish speakers.

Slow, Disappointing, Dated, Overrated, Dizzying

See it if you enjoy Gabriel Garcia Marquez novel "Chronical of a death Foretold". This show is in Spanish and looses a lot in translation (headset).

Don't see it if Your looking for elaborate scenery and extraordinary acting. The cast is ambitious but fails to deliver.
