Generation Gaps: 'The Aging of the Plum'

Photo by Maxwell MacKenzieTHE ROLE OF GENDER in our society is always a relevant topic, but it's gained even more topical heft lately with all of the talk about Hillary Clinton, GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin and the curious question of whether moms can serve in high elective office. Curious, really, only in its throwback-ness.

What better time to take in "La Edad de la Ciruel (The Aging of the Plum)," a play that itself throws back several generations to examine the evolving role of women in the world — and how those roles affected the women who assumed them.

The play, written by Aristedes Vargas — founder of Ecuador's leading theater company — is performed in Spanish with English subtitles.
