"This isn't a village. We've got the largest shopping centre in the area. Now there's somewhere people can go to watch movies, have something to eat, spend money to make sense of their lives."
When a rumour spreads like wildfire through a Colombian village, a respectable family start to wither in the heat. As long-buried secrets begin to surface, their efforts to discern truth from slander become fused with a desire for justice. A new black comedy of twisted morality set in modern Colombia.
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Review
"Excellent moments of pitch-black humour..."―Siobhan Murphy, Metro
"Simon Scardifield’s eminently playable English translation is both witty and intelligent."–Ian Shuttleworth, Financial Times
"A frisky, often ferociously funny comedy... exhibited in a smart, snappily colloquial translation. Rozo has a sharp eye for the self-dramatising, self-serving aspects of family life"–Dominic Cavendish, Daily Telegraph
"Riveting... wonderfully crisp, as is Simon Scardifield’s translation of the text. The play is fascinating in content, form and expression."–Jeremy Kingston, The Times
"It has the wonderfully frisky, darkly droll élan of an early Almodóvar movie. The final scene is one of the most breathtaking sequences on the current London stage."–Andrzej Lukowski, Time Out London
"Dark, deranged and occasionally hilarious presented here in a zesty translation by Simon Scardfield. Our Private Life questions the very idea of privacy. It shows a family’s careful respectability being eroded by gossip and the nightmarish effects of rumour." Henry Hitchings, Evening Standard
