Salazar's Angels of Death - A Tragedy in Two Farces

Then, suddenly, they stand in my cell again. They put a pistol to my temple. Cock the hammer. They play their antics with me. Laughingly. Pretending. Then suddenly they pull the trigger. I flinch. Desperately. I close my eyes in a flash. With fear. My whole body trembles. But they laugh again. You were lucky; they sneer and jeer. There was no bullet in it. This time!

"Miguel Oliveira's play is intense. It brings the injustice and brutality of the dictatorship to the stage, giving a voice to the victims of torture and violence who suffered under the regime. It is an unbearable text that shows the hopelessness, the bitter suffering, and the failure of a group of young dissidents who, in the midst of arbitrary rule, find the courage to demand freedom for themselves and their country." Susana de Abreu, former university lecturer in literature
