the way she spoke

De: Isaac Gomez

Narrado por: Kate del Castillo

Imagine living with a fear so visceral each day that simply walking down the street draws terror to one’s core. That’s the best case scenario for a woman on the streets of Juárez, Mexico. Kate del Castillo (La Reina del Sur) delivers a stunning one-woman performance that transports listeners from a New York stage to the treacherous streets of Juárez, Mexico, where thousands of women have been murdered in an ongoing epidemic of violence. Written by Isaac Gomez (Steppenwolf’s La Ruta) and based on his intimate interviews, the way she spoke is a raw and riveting exploration of responsibility and follows one playwright's journey to give voice to a city of women silenced by violence, fear, and a world that has turned a deaf ear to their stories. This poignant and unforgettable play is directed by Obie and Lucille Lortel–winner Jo Bonney.

So heartbreaking but true

It is so unthinkable that this could happen, but nobody stops it. This needs to be stopped. Hundreds of pages of women and children murdered, decimated of humanity, disappeared.

Her performance was riveting and emotional

Haunting

I would have to say that the reviews of this are a bit shocking. I thought the characters were good and authentic. I thought they portrayed the story line well. It is sad and I couldn't listen twice, but it was well written and the readers were excellent.

wow. truly heartbreaking.

I have never had such a genuinely emotional reaction to a book. This is an important story that needs to he heard again & again

Great story!

Absolutely loved the narration and story. The book was a quick, yet captivating listen. It is a very sad reality that these women are living everyday, so it’s extremely hard to love the story and not feel guilty, but it was very well written and the narration was excellent.

impactful truth

This is a topic that needs to be brought to light. This book was well done. Thanks for writing about the tragedies other rather ignore.

powerful

my heart was breaking throughout this story. the way she told this story, I was on the edge of my seat. how can a country allow this massacre to go on.

Great Piece!

This story takes us on an uncomfortable journey across the border. The play breaks the fourth wall to address the writer when things are difficult or hard to understand. This adds to the hard reality of this important issue that has gone ignored for so many years.

well done Isaac!

I don't always write reviews but this one struck me straight in the heart. Isaac did an excellent job depicting the stories of each person. I felt I was there on the journey. Even days later the story stayed with me. Isaac thank you for being a voice for the voiceless. I want to hear more of your work.

Powerful...

telling of a very real crisis. If nothing else gets through, the last few minutes should. The list is longer by the time I'm writing this review. If you listen, you will understand.
