The Walls

By Griselda Gambaro
Directed by Cláudio Medeiros

Are we willing to stand up to authority when it is the right thing to do? A young man is invited to go into a building to confirm his identity. He finds himself in a hotel room with modern comforts. An usher with a hearty sense of humor is ready to serve him. A functionary with a passion for language and opera has his best interests at heart. But could appearances be deceiving?  Is the young man accused of anything? When will he be able to go home? In this beautifully balanced play, Argentinian playwright Griselda Gambaro invites us to face the theatricality and discombobulation of our own times. A suspenseful dark comedy that will put you on the edge of your seat, The Walls deftly asks the audience a simple question: what would you do in these circumstances?

Adult content; for mature audiences.
