Eduardo Machado's painfully funny slice of Cuban-American life in the suburbs is a cross between a Hispanic soap opera and an ethnic comedy with political overtones. This deft play can turn serious or silly in an instant and you'll need a scorecard to keep track of the cascading and frequently arboreous calamities. A Teatro Vista co-production.
