About the Author and Play:

 

Alejandro Sieveking has been a leading playwright in Chile for nearly 40
years. This macabre tale set in a Chilean manor house is a dark comedy
of three sisters and their secret in the cellar. The Praying Mantis will
challenge perceptions while keeping audiences on the edge of their
seats. As the drama unfolds, confession, intrigue and escape foreshadow
an unexpected ending.

with Adela. 

Adela - young, pretty, a real beauty.  A perfect body, made for love.
