Description Performed by Melbourne New Theatre. Devised by the Great Canadian Theatre Company. "With widespread popular support, the revolutionary Sandinistas won power in Nicaragua from the vicious and corrupt Samoza regime. Six years and a democratic election later, the new government lives in the shadow of the fear of U.S. intervention - a real fear, given the long history of the United States' complicity in repression in the region."
