Lovers in a Dangerous Time | LÉO | Vancouver | Feb. 20 - March 1
Sex and politics make for perilous bedfellows. In Canadian playwright Rosa Laborde's LÉO, presented by the Firehall Arts Centre, budding sexuality collides with political passion. The play has been called "exquisitely poetic," "sharp-edged" and "stunning."
Léo, Isolda and Rodrigo are childhood friends caught in the sharp corners of a love triangle. They come of age during the heady days of Salvador Allende's election. When a military coup turns Chile against itself, innocence disappears. Passion and politics collide in this stunning new play about life and love in dangerous times.
Not for the faint of heart, perhaps, but guaranteed to be incendiary.
