Possibly the most fun history lesson ever, this show for all ages won Chile's National Theatre Critic's Award for Best New Play in 2010.

Based on the letters that Chile's First Royal Governor, Pedro de Valdivia (1500–1553) wrote home to King Charles V, this is the remarkable story of the first thirteen years of the conquest of Chile. Three ridiculously talented actor-musicians combine live music, puppetry, physical comedy and thrilling visuals to shed new light on one of the most bloody and infamous episodes in Chile's history.

Written by Francisco Sánchez and Company Directed by Sebastián Vila Performed by Francisco Sánchez, Pablo Obreque & César Espinoza

Duration: 75 minutes

Pre-Show Talk: Sunday 16th September at 1pm
Join us for an open discussion led by Artistic Director Daniel Goldman looking into the legacy of the Conquest of Latin America in Latin America and Europe today.
