Letters from Cuba and Other Plays

"Letters from Cuba premiered in the Signature Theatre season devoted to Maria Irene Fornes, prompting Bruce Weber, writing in The New York Times, to observe of her autobiographical work that "you would be taxed to find a show with a sweeter temper." Terra Incognita is a portrait of three Americans in a Spanish cafe whose musings on history, colonization and the discovery of America suggest a surprisingly contemporary perspective. Manual for a Desperate Crossing, an opera composed by Robert Ashley, grew out of interviews with Cuban rafters and was staged by the Florida Grand Opera in a bi-lingual production, titled Balseros."--BOOK JACKET.Fornes, Maria Irene is the author of 'Letters from Cuba and Other Plays ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781555540760 and ISBN 1555540767.
