This fascinating play (85pgs) by Mario Benedetti is about torture, and has found a lot of praise from comrades who went through the horrible ordeal of torture at the hands of the amerikkkan-trained security forces in South America. To introduce it, I think it would be best to put here the introduction which Benedetti wrote for this play:
Johan Padan and the "Discovery" of the Americas by Dario Fo

This play (109pg) by Dario Fo was written in the unconventional style which Fo himself first made popular, i.e. "narrative theatre" (teatro di narrazione). In such narrative plays, there is only one person, and there is no action or dress or background or anything like that, but just a narrator-actor telling a story, very similar to the popular storytelling which influenced Fo's style so much.
