Embark on a journey to 1990s Havana with this captivating play written & directed By Nilo Cruz, the Pulitzer Prize-Winning Playwright of Anna in the Tropics. Two Sisters and a Piano will be premiering at The Colony Theatre on January 25th and is themed after the Pan American Games and the Russians’ departure from Cuba.
The year is 1991, and two sisters – Maria Celia, a novelist, and Sofia, a pianist – are serving time under house arrest.
From the description: “Passion infiltrates politics when a lieutenant assigned to their case becomes infatuated with Maria Celia, whose literature he has been reading. Witness the enthralling cat-and-mouse game between Maria Celia and a charismatic military officer, whose infatuation blurs the lines between passion and politics. Nilo Cruz weaves an authentic tale of oppression, human spirit, and the intertwining fate of two sisters awaiting freedom in a world of shifting global politics.”
“It’s one of the most fascinating cat-and-mouse games to be seen on the stage.” —Star-Ledger.
“The beauty of TWO SISTERS AND A PIANO is its refusal to paint characters in black-and-white. Cruz’s tightly constructed study of incarcerated sisters—provides the spine for an authentic study of oppression that bends but never breaks the human spirit.” —Variety.
Play runs through January 25 – February 18, 2024
