Starring: Malena Ramirez
A teacher who runs her classroom with an iron fist, velvet glove not included! Banned, then censored in Brazil (the playwright’s homeland), Miss Margarida’s Way is a searing drama that looks deeply into the heart of power. Audiences and critics in over fifty countries have cheered this allegory about totalitarianism that uses a classroom as its central metaphor. Miss Margarida teaches, teases, and taunts her eighth-grade class through mathematics, geography, history, and her own private curriculum. Unbalanced by sexual frustrations she can only express in aggression toward her students, Miss Margarida is an engaging monster; a dictator with the audience as her student body.
