Los Desaparecidos is the winner of Babes With Blades’ second international playwriting competition Joining Sword & Pen. This
year's theme was "Duelo de Mujeres" (The Duel of
Women), which can be seen HERE. We requested scripts
for production that are inspired by the painting. In order
for a script to qualify for the competition, the fight depicted
in that painting HAD TO APPEAR within the script. We've taken some liberties in the rendering above and included our actresses.
