More Details
Though it is a full-on, frenzied drag farce informed by the work of Charles Ludlam and infused with magical realism and a dose of film noir, Guillermo Reyes’ play presents serious messages about the borderlands of sexual preference and identity, gay and Latino cultural expectations, and immigration. Michael is a conflicted Mexican-American border patrol agent who doesn’t speak Spanish. Though he is married with a family, Michael has fantasies of same-gender wedding ceremonies and men-in-drag divas. As in Ludlam’s The Mystery of Irma Vep, the actors in Reyes’ play portray male characters and the titular divas, as well.
