Blood Sisters/Hermanas de sangre (Estreno Contemporary Spanish Plays, 26)

Blood Sisters takes us to the reunion of seven middle-aged women who were classmates years ago at a Catholic boarding school. While the initial situation seems to be nothing more than a typical girls' night out, the reader is soon presented with a wealth of mystery, suspense, and intrigue as the characters reflect on the tragic murder of their classmate Clara, who was killed on graduation day by one of the women present at the reunion. As the mystery unfolds, the playwright examines such issues as truth, ritual, conspiracy, and woman's psyche. In addition to the play, the volume includes introductory notes and production photos.
