Argentine playwright Lola Arias’ acclaimed Mavinas War piece Minefield will return to the stage ten years after its first presentation as part of the celebrations for the Buenos Aires Herald’s 150th anniversary.
The play, a reflection on the war that brings UK and Argentine veterans together on stage, will be produced by Daniel Grinbank and the British Council and run at the Coliseo Theater in Buenos Aires in November.
The confirmed shows will run from Thursday, the 19th, through Sunday, the 22nd, all starting at 8 p.m.
Minefield, which premiered at the London International Festival of Theater in 2016, is a documentary drama that includes live music and audiovisual resources. The performers are former military: three from Argentina, two from Great Britain, and one from Nepal (an elite soldier known as a Gurkha), all real Malvinas War veterans who revisit their war experiences before a live audience.
