When the crisis comes \u2013 what would you do?<\/p>\n<p>On a lonely desert road in the dead of night, highway police Angela and Romulo are a team &#8211; sort of. Romulo is a shambles. Angela\u2019s all business. But then they stop a speeding car and discover a man stripped to his undershirt and covered in filth. Oh &#8211; and a boot full of guns.<\/p>\n<p>Part thriller, part black comedy, this play is inspired by events leading to the capture of El Chapo, Mexico\u2019s most notorious drug lord, in 2016. But\u00a0<em>Twenty Minutes With The Devil\u00a0<\/em>transcends its original context, opening instead onto a world that is everywhere and nowhere, in an idiom at once strange and familiar. It asks vital questions about law, politics, and justice in the modern world. About the lives and decisions out of our control that seem to hold us all hostage. And the patterns that entrap us in other ways parents and children, myths and beliefs, childhood memories and fantasies of escape.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read more at the link.<\/p>\n<p><strong>June 23, 2022, Q&amp;A session at 6:15-7:15 p.m., The Street Theatre, The Australian National University, Canberra (RSVP for the event at <a title=\"RSVP@thestreet.org.au\" href=\"mailto:RSVP@thestreet.org.au\">RSVP@thestreet.org.au<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Performances June 17-25, 2022<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=HedgehogsFoxes\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, this event should be interesting.\u00a0\u00a0Twenty Minutes With the Devil, by Luis G\u00f3mez Romero &amp; Desmond Manderson.\u00a0 \u201cYou see, my friend, I am just a humble businessman with a knack for success and no&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[294],"tags":[657,132],"class_list":["post-4943","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-law-and-theater","tag-law-and-theater","tag-news"],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pasVL2-1hJ","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgehogsandfoxes.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4943","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgehogsandfoxes.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgehogsandfoxes.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgehogsandfoxes.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgehogsandfoxes.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4943"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/hedgehogsandfoxes.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4943\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4946,"href":"https:\/\/hedgehogsandfoxes.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4943\/revisions\/4946"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgehogsandfoxes.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4943"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgehogsandfoxes.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4943"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgehogsandfoxes.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4943"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
