Solo conocia de que se trataba por una escueta gacetilla que lei. Interesante puesta en escena, cruel, directa e impactante por momentos. Buen trabajo en general de los actores. La tematica y la forma de tratarlo salen de lo comun y trillado a lo que se acostumbra a ver. No se si es por poca difusion u otro motivo, la respuesta del publico no fue la noche del 21/7/07 la que logicamente esperaban los actores, pero van por el camino correcto. Los saluda con afecto, Horacio.
