Boleros for the Disenchanted September 18, 2009

Runs through October 25

Playwright José Rivera, the Academy Award nominated screenwriter of The Motorcycle Diaries, revisits his native Puerto Rico in an exploration of love and marriage that reverberates with the passion of Latin love songs. Romance and humor collide when young Flora discovers her fiancé has been cheating on her. Ignoring both her mother's advice that a spell could make him faithful and her father's proposal to have him killed, she changes course and falls for another man - handsome and respectable Eusebio. The couple moves across the world to Alabama and begins a 38 year journey of adventure, disillusion and sacrifice that will forge the deeper love which grows long after the rush of romance has gone. "Magical! An enchanting production that sizzles with passion. José Rivera has penned a heartfelt ode to true love." — Metro (Boston)
