September 11, 1973: The Day Salvador Allende Died
September 11, 1973. A US-backed coup led by General Augusto Pinochet will oust
Chile’s democratically-elected president. Allende died by suicide in the
palace that day. The play focuses on the final hours of Salvador Allende’s
life. Pinochet is hell-bent on ousting Allende and eliminating his
supporters. The chips are down and there is no time to spare. As Allende
anxiously considers his options, he’s challenged by a mysterious man to
play the final chess game of his life. A compelling, relentless and daring
play, freely based on facts.
