Synopsis

The Castro Complex

$13

Mel Arrighi

Published by Dramatists Play Service

2 Male 1 Female

Smitten by fantasies of Fidel Castro, Betsy finds that she cannot respond to the advances of her fiance, Hadley, unless he assumes the guise of the Cuban leader - beard, army cap, cigar and all

Hadley has reached the point of suggesting psychiatric help when onto the scene bursts Paco, a bearded revolutionary, seeking refuge from (he says) the CIA men who are pursuing him

Betsy's immediate attraction to the debonair stranger is the last straw for poor Hadley - and from there on the plot, twists and turns hilariously until the truth is out (or is it?) and Betsy's hang - up has (or has it?) been overcome for good

This zany comedy deals with the romantic problems of a young girl who is "turned on" by thoughts of the hirsute Cuban leader - much to her clean-shaven fiance's discomfort

" merry little farce for three " - The New Yorker

"he has a good-natured sense of humor that is disarming and all three of his characters are engaging creatures" - NY Post
