OBIE Award winner José Rivera (A.C.T.'s Brainpeople, Marisol), the Academy Award–nominated screenwriter of The Motorcycle Diaries, explores the ineffable dreams of lovers in this brilliant new work. Passion and humor collide in an exuberant Puerto Rican village in 1953, where Flora's search for true love follows an unexpected course. Spanning almost 40 years later in America, a daring second act probes the darker mysteries of marriage—all while reverberating the gorgeous sounds of Latin love songs, or boleros.
"Rivera's writing is breathtakingly poetic"
