Based on Julia Álvarez's novel
The Mirabal sisters stood up to one of history’s most notorious dictators, and this on-stage adaptation brings these national heroines back to life.
"In the Time of the Butterflies" is a play based on the 1994 homonymous novel by Julia Álvarez. Both texts use fiction to recreate the historical account of four sisters under the regime of Rafael Leónidas Trujillo, also known as “El Jefe” [The Boss], through decades of violence in the Dominican Republic. The play premiered in January 2011 and has been part of the Repertorio’s rotating productions ever since.
Performed in Spanish with English translation. By request for matinee performances.
