It's 1979 and Lizette Marquez is about to marry a nice Jewish boy in a ceremony at Woodland Hills Country Club that is costing thousands of dollars
While she and her extended three-generational family enjoy the fruits of material success in their adopted country, they remain haunted by memories of Cuba
They experience the cultural divide faced by Cuban Americans who feel they are 3000 miles from their real lives. In their idle fantasies, Cuba might still be reclaimed, so they cling to memories of a society displaced by the revolution
"A rich play with an undertow of sorrow and rushes of anger and humor . . . Its young author has a strong comic voice and a passion to examine the meaning of people history" ~ N. Y. Times
