About La Victima
It's a story that spans four decades, telling the tale of two families. It begins during the Great Depression and continues through later troubled economic times. This play shows how Mexicans and Mexican-Americans find themselves in demand in the U.S. as a source of cheap, exploitable labor. But they find that they do not enjoy the same working conditions and job security as their neighbors. When the Latinos try to organize into unions to secure workers' rights, they find themselves subject to reprisals, including deportation. It's a timely piece and very relevant with the immigration issues happening right now.
