A world premiere production of Cuban playwright Abel Gonzalez Melo's award-winning retelling of the Hecuba myth. For decades, millions of islanders have fled Priamo's dictatorship. Exiled in the North, they've prospered and now return to recover everything lost. Devastated in a savage war, the Island is inundated with unburied corpses. Of the tyrant's lineage, only Hecuba survives, thirsty for vengeance. IN SPANISH WITH ENGLISH SUPERTITLES.

"...Confined to an otherwise deserted island and destitute in the aftermath of the battle, Hecuba is forced to reconcile a once-fruitful future with the little she has left. Contemporary references often fall flat, but a stellar cast compensates with enough gusto to make the show worthwhile. Be prepared to shift your gaze early and often, as the play is performed in Spanish with English supertitles."
