Synopsis
“B” is a gripping play that revolves around a complex and tense plot involving characters Alejandra, Marcela, and José Miguel. The story unfolds in a clandestine setting where the characters grapple with the implications of planting a bomb, referred to metaphorically as “cheese” and “cow.” The narrative explores themes of idealism, violence, and the moral dilemmas of radical activism.
The play is marked by intense dialogues and moral conflicts, as the characters debate the ethics and consequences of their actions. Tensions escalate when the nature of the bomb changes, leading to disagreements about its use. The plot takes a surprising turn as the characters’ true intentions and identities are revealed, culminating in a dramatic and explosive climax.
“B” offers a deep dive into the psyche of activists caught in the web of their convictions and the harsh realities of their choices, making it a thought-provoking and intense theatrical experience.
