Description

The Original Studio Cast of a new Musical recorded bfore invited audiences for the performaces being recorded

Ardiente Paciencia is the novel by Antonio Skarmeta on which the 1994 Oscar-winning film Il Postino was based.In contrast to the movie, the musical follows the setting and time frame of the novel: Isla Negra, a fishing village on the Chilean coast, 1970-73. Mario, inarticulate and wildly romantic, gets a job as postman to the poet Pablo Neruda. Learning from Neruda, Mario woos the beautiful Beatriz in a way that is unusual to her: in words. The pair fall in love, and after being caught in a delicate situation are forced by Beatriz's mother, Rosa, to marry. She puts the couple to work in her taverna.The up-and-down love story of Mario and Beatriz is set against Chile's political backdrop in the years between the election of Marxist president Salvador Allende in 1970 and General Pinochet's military coup of 1973. Throughout the story, Cosme, Isla Negra's postmaster and a dedicated left-winger, clashes with Labbe, the right wing political deputy, a contest which ultimately costs Cosme his life.Meanwhile, Mario's hero-worship of Neruda leads him to become not only poet and lover but a Marxist follower as well. His notebook, in which he has naively written 'Mario Jimenez - Communist' is found by Labbe, now a henchman of Pinochet, andas Neruda is taken into custody Mario becomes one of Chile's 'Disappeared', leaving Beatriz about to give birth to their baby. She and her mother leave Isla Negra, in the hope that the child will embody the spirit of poetry and freedom with which Neruda has entrusted Mario.
