Á hora do crime phantasia dramatica em 1 acto a proposito do assassinato do General Prim

Set against the brutal aftermath of the 1838 Lisbon massacre, the drama opens with a narrator whose very breath is claimed by the cries of oppressed citizens. His confession weaves personal loss with the larger tragedy of a nation torn between revolutionary ideals and the mask of false liberty. The language is dense with historic references, yet it pulses with a visceral sense of anger and yearning for true democracy. Through his inherited revolutionary spirit, the narrator becomes both witness and participant, urging the listener to feel the weight of history pressing on every spoken line.

In a single, tightly structured act, the story builds toward the fateful assassination of General Prim, using sharp dialogue and vivid monologue to expose the tangled web of betrayal, political ambition, and popular disillusionment. Listeners are drawn into a claustrophobic court of opinion where slogans clash with the blood‑stained reality of power. The piece invites reflection on how ideals are corrupted, leaving the audience hungry for the next moment of revelation without giving away the climax. The language, rich with period slang and impassioned rhetoric, makes the drama feel like a live courtroom debate, pulling the audience into the turbulent heart of 19th‑century politics.
