The play is set in pre-revolutionary Havana during from the heat of November 1940 into 1958 and is set against historical events, private and public lives. Luz Marina, an unmarried seamstress labouring with her sewing machines, is the main breadwinner for her family. Sharing the family poverty is Oscar, a brother determined to pursue his poetry which is understood and admired by his sister. He goes away for two years to Argentina. Another brother, Luis, lives in New York but he returns to Havana as an invalid whilst macho older brother, Enrique – who has his own family to support – visits his parental home to reluctantly give a little financial help. Against these hardships and the poverty, Angel, the bullying, unemployed father, deteriorates in health becoming blind and confused whilst the long-suffering mother, Ana, is carried to her death bed. </td> </tr> </table> </div></div> <table style="margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%"> <tr> <td style="margin: 0; padding: 0"> <div class="iobdb-frame" style="border-radius:13px; box-shadow:10px 10px 5px #CCCCCC"> <div class="iobdb-legend" style="border-radius:25px; background-color:rgb(0,0,156)"> <span id="Opening Night Credits">Opening Night Credits</span> <h2 hidden>Opening Night Credits</h2> </div><div class="iobdb-body" > <br/><div style="background-color:#ABABAB; color:white; padding-left:8px; font-weight:bold; border-radius:25px">Production Credits</div> <table style="width:100%"> <tr> <th style="width:1%"></th> <th>Person/Company</th> <th>Credit</th> </tr> <tr style="border-top: 1px solid #f5f5f5"> <td> </td> <td> <a href="/CreditableEntity/53962" style="text-decoration:none; color:rgb(151,0,51)" title="Has 1 credit">Virgilio Piñera</a> </td> <td> Playwright </td> </tr> <tr style="border-top: 1px solid #f5f5f5"> <td> </td> <td> <a href="/CreditableEntity/1998" style="text-decoration:none; color:rgb(151,0,51)" title="Has 27 credits">María Irene Fornés</a> </td> <td> Adaptation </td> </tr> <tr style="border-top: 1px solid #f5f5f5"><td> </td><td> </td></tr> <tr style="border-top: 1px solid #f5f5f5"> <td> </td> <td> <a href="/CreditableEntity/2005" style="text-decoration:none; color:rgb(151,0,51)" title="Has 23 credits">Donald Eastman</a> </td> <td> Set Designer </td> </tr> <tr style="border-top: 1px solid #f5f5f5"> <td> </td> <td> <a href="/CreditableEntity/1712" style="text-decoration:none; color:rgb(151,0,51)" title="Has 67 credits">Gabriel Berry</a> </td> <td> Costume Designer </td> </tr> <tr style="border-top: 1px solid #f5f5f5"> <td> </td> <td> <a href="/CreditableEntity/5258" style="text-decoration:none; color:rgb(151,0,51)" title="Has 29 credits">Anne Militello</a> </td> <td> Lighting Designer </td> </tr> </table> <br/><div style="background-color:#ABABAB; color:white; padding-left:8px; font-weight:bold; border-radius:25px">Cast</div> <table style="width:100%"> <tr> <th style="width:1%"></th> <th>Actor</th> <th>Role</th> <th></th> </tr> <tr style="border-top: 1px solid #f5f5f5"> <td> </td> <td> <a href="/CreditableEntity/53964" style="text-decoration:none; color:rgb(151,0,51)" title="Has 1 credit">Al Casas</a> </td> <td>Angel</td> <td></td> </tr> <tr style="border-top: 1px solid #f5f5f5"> <td> </td> <td> <a href="/CreditableEntity/11739" style="text-decoration:none; color:rgb(151,0,51)" title="Has 2 credits">Ivonne Coll</a> </td> <td>Luz Marina</td> <td></td> </tr> <tr style="border-top: 1px solid #f5f5f5"> <td> </td> <td> <a href="/CreditableEntity/53965" style="text-decoration:none; color:rgb(151,0,51)" title="Has 1 credit">Miriam Cruz</a> </td> <td>Ana</td> <td></td> </tr> <tr style="border-top: 1px solid #f5f5f5"> <td> </td> <td> <a href="/CreditableEntity/53963" style="text-decoration:none; color:rgb(151,0,51)" title="Has 1 credit">Leo Garcia</a> </td> <td>Oscar</td> <td></td> </tr> <tr style="border-top: 1px solid #f5f5f5"> <td> </td> <td> <a href="/CreditableEntity/53966" style="text-decoration:none; color:rgb(151,0,51)" title="Has 1 credit">Armando Molina</a> </td> <td>Luis</td> <td></td> </tr> <tr style="border-top: 1px solid #f5f5f5"> <td> </td> <td> <a href="/CreditableEntity/53967" style="text-decoration:none; color:rgb(151,0,51)" title="Has 1 credit">Katrina Ramos</a> </td> <td>Child</td> <td></td> </tr> <tr style="border-top: 1px solid #f5f5f5"> <td> </td> <td> <a href="/CreditableEntity/53968" style="text-decoration:none; color:rgb(151,0,51)" title="Has 1 credit">Jennifer Valle</a> </td> <td>Child</td> <td></td> </tr> </table> </div></div> </td> </tr> </table> </section> </div> <footer style="height:60px"> <div class="content-wrapper" style="color:gray"> <div class="float-left"> <p> <a href="/TermsOfUse" target="_blank">Terms of Use</a><br /> <a href="/PrivacyStatement" target="_blank">Privacy Statement</a> </p> </div> <div class="float-right"> <p> ©2025 Lucille Lortel Foundation.
