Rum & Coke!

RumandCoke.gif¡Cubanas!  Finally, a one-woman play for us!  Playwright and actor Carmen Peláez has a new off-Broadway show, Rum & Coke.  The New York Times says Peláez “acts these characters beautifully” and “has obviously honed each piece to its essence” to demonstrate “the courage of survivors and a heritage of artistic, strong-willed women.” 

 

“You are not free, because you’re Cuban and you’re not home,” the grandmother (played by Peláez) tells her U.S. born granddaughter (also Peláez).  Sound familiar?

 

If you’re in Nueva York, go see it—the show runs through March 2 at Abingdon’s June Havoc Theater at 312 W. 36th Street (between 8th and 9th Avenues).  Tickets are available at smarttix.com.   If you see it, please write in with a review.

 

Brava, Carmen!
