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. <i>The Praying Mantis</i> will challenge
perceptions while keeping audiences on the edge of their seats. As the drama
unfolds, confession, intrigue and escape foreshadow an unexpected ending.
