Killing Time
Killing Time presents the cruel and yet tender relationship of two women, one elderly and one young. They have lived their lives together through classic tales of mother and daughter-in-law and now embark upon one last story as they approach their definitive separation. Keeping in Touch also deals with the relationship of an old woman and a young one. Their unusual friendship develops over a period of years via the cell phone that the young woman had stolen from her elderly victim. In both Killing Time and Keeping in Touch, Escude i Galles provides snapshots into the complex worlds of her characters. And like short stories, these two brief plays are able to capture insightful images of a vaster universe.Both plays may be performed with minimal props.The casts each consist of 1 old woman and 1 young woman.

Minority Theatre on the Global Stage
All over the world, in the most varied contexts, contemporary theatre is a rich source for increasing the visibility of communities generally perceived by others as minorities, or those who see themselves as such.
