| Description |
Devised by the Great Canadian Theatre Company. "With widespread popular support, the revolutionary Sandinistas won power in Nicaragua from the vicious and corrupt Samoza regime. Six years and a democratic election later, the new government lives in the shadow of the fear of U.S. intervention - a real fear, given the long history of the United States' complicity in repression in the region". |
