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

Á hora do crime phantasia dramatica em 1 acto a proposito do assassinato do General Prim by Francisco Luís Coutinho de Miranda arrives as a fierce one-act play that channels 19th-century political turbulence into a compact, theatrical outcry. Written in the aftermath of upheavals that shook Portugal and Spain, the play responds to the shock of General Prim’s assassination while evoking earlier national traumas—massacres, betrayals of the National Guard, and the sacrifices of citizens who forged constitutional hopes. A dramatic fantasy rather than a documentary, the work blends patriotic rhetoric, vivid monologue, and poetic flourishes to interrogate tyranny, loyalty, and the moral cost of political ambition. The narrator’s voice traces personal and collective memory—born amid revolution, shaped by accounts of bloodshed—and the piece uses that intimacy to illuminate wider questions about liberty, martyrdom, and the fragility of institutions. Historical context is ever-present but never dry; the play’s urgency and moral indignation situate it firmly within literature and political theatre of its era. Ideal for listeners who enjoy historical drama, political plays, or classic Portuguese literature, this audiobook offers a passionate, thought-provoking portrait of a moment when theatre met history and conscience demanded a reply.
