Repertorio Español has announced the dates for their official reopening. Performances start on the 6th of October.
LA BREVE Y MARAVILLOSA VIDA DE OSCAR WAO
(The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao)
Based on Junot Díaz’s novel.
Adapted & Directed by Marco Antonio Rodríguez
“A shrewd exploration of male mores under often hilarious Ping-Pong dialogue”. — The New York Times
“Rodríguez skillfully compresses time, and hones the events of Oscar’s life to bring us a humorous and poignant performance”. — Berkshire Fine Arts
“The performers are uniformly excellent”. — Theatermania
“I’d recommend Repertorio Español’s The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao to anyone, whether or not they speak Spanish”. — Theatre Is Easy
EDUARDO DE FILIPPO’S
FILOMENA MARTURANO: UN MATRIMONIO A LA CARIBEÑA
(Marriage Caribbean Style)
Directed by Leyma López
“You get binge-worthy drama in tasty 30-minute acts, watching flesh and blood actors at the top of their game”. — The New York Times
“This play is outlandishly funny and thrives off of its ability to plot twists in the heart of its character”. — Diandra Reviews It All
CELEBRATING 25 YEARS IN REPERTORIO ESPAÑOL
LA GRINGA
By Carmen Rivera
Directed by René Buch
“Carmen Rivera’s iconic play that captures the spirit of the Puerto Rican experience.” — The New York Times
“‘La gringa’ is the story of a young woman from New York who goes to Puerto Rico in search of her extended family. When she finds them, the complicated misperceptions that develop on all sides unfold in comic dialogue that arouses constant shouts of laughter and bursts of applause.” — The New York Times
FEDERICO GARCÍA LORCA’S
LA CASA DE BERNARDA ALBA
(The House of Bernarda Alba)
Directed by René Buch
“Hatred, jealousy and despair come to life, almost as characters in their own right, in the Repertorio Español’s Spanish-language production of ‘La casa de Bernarda Alba’. García Lorca’s grim satisfaction in exposing the pretensions, self-deceits, and destructive willfulness of Bernarda Alba and her five daughters in a world of women who are all victims is almost palpable.” — The New York Times
“Strongly built. This is fine, beautifully sustained production.” — The Village Voice
MIGUEL DE CERVANTES SAAVEDRA’S
EL QUIJOTE
Adapted by Santiago García
Directed by Jorge Alí Triana
“‘El Quijote’ stresses the absurdities of Don Quijote’s quest, as he attempts to right wrongs and rescue damsels in distress… Don Quijote and Sancho stumble through a series of adventures (or misadventures, as Sancho calls them). Company members never falter, never miss a step. At the same time, the director’s creativity is unbounded.” — Backstage
“The real thing, much closer to Cervantes’ original satirical intent…the director’s creativity is unbounded…not a stodgy classic, but a lusty, delicious version – a veritable three-ring circus.” — Backstage
BASED ON JULIA ÁLVAREZ’S NOVEL
EN EL TIEMPO DE LAS MARIPOSAS
(In the Time of the Butterflies)
By Caridad Svich
Directed by José Zayas
“The outrage and sorrow that greeted the murder of the three elegant and revolutionary Mirabal sisters in the Dominican Republic during the homicidal dictatorship of General Rafael Trujillo have never really ended. These emotions are evident… and is the subject of ‘In the Time of the Butterflies’… it largely does justice to this story of injustice.” — Backstage
“Zayas’ inventive production, in which the use of video projections and animation help create a poetic language of stagecraft. The seven-member cast is effective in reminding us that, in past eras too, despots only seemed invincible.” — Backstage
SAULO GARCÍA’S
QUINCEAÑERA
Directed by Valentín Álvarez Campos
“QUINCEAÑERA” is a celebration of 15 consecutive years of Saulo García’s comedy on Repertorio’s stage and a compilation of his “Greatest Hits”.
“García has a good-humored stage presence that’s irresistible…” — The Washington Post
