WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Signature Theatre Company presents the final production of its 1999/2000 season devoted to the works of playwright Maria Irene Fornes. LETTERS FROM CUBA written and directed by Fornes deals directly for the first time with her rich Cuban heritage. The play draws from over 200 letters the playwright received over a thirty-year period from her brother in Havana. Taking place simultaneously in New York and Cuba, fragments from the letters are woven into the story of the relationship between a brother and a sister, their artistic rapport, their two worlds and the faith they have in the value of their artistic labors.-dlm

One of America's great living playwrights, Maria Irene Fornes has always seemed like one of New York's most under-appreciated treasures. The American pantheon of playwrights is clogged with brash men's men, and Fornes sticks out for her subtle style, defining herself against the Mamets and Shepards of the world. Her plays aren't always accessible, like her a[...]
