PERU
Director Malcolm Malca, working with executive producer Luciana Arispe and author Jeff Baron put together a new Spanish translation of Visiting Mr. Green for the Peruvian premiere of Visitando al Sr. Green.
Starring well known Peruvian actors Carlos Tuccio and César Ritter, the production opened in Lima in February, 2010 at the ICPNA – Instituto Cultural Peruano Norteamericano, with the participation of the American embassy in Peru.
“Visitando al Sr. Green es, en fin, una emocionante obra y un muy eficaz montaje, un espectáculo de asistencia obligatoria para quienes disfrutan de un teatro de pensamientos y sensaciones fuertes, con personajes nítidos y una historia interesante y reveladora que atañe importantes y muy vigentes dilemas humanos. Es un éxito artístico memorable.”

“Visiting Mr. Green is, in short, an exciting work and a very effective production, a must-see show for those who enjoy a theater of strong thoughts and sensations, with clear characters and an interesting and revealing story that concerns important and very current human dilemmas. It is a memorable artistic success.”
