1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the read.
Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2015
Verified Purchase
I purchased this play with the intention of using it for a college class presentation on Text Analysis, but was disappointed to find that there was little to analyse. I felt that it was poorly written, lacked a central focus, and the show had a change of seen almost every page. Very disorienting to follow such frequent changes in scenes, and no real rising action. I regret that it did not live up to my expectations. I would not purchase again.

1.0 out of 5 stars This story feels dated and worst of all
Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2017
The writer uses 20th century stereotypes about Hispanic people and families and how they speak to tell a story that doesn't belong to his culture or background. What results is a curse word laden script making Latinos appear angry and uneducated. This story feels dated and worst of all, appropriated or hijacked by a seeming "white sympathizer". It's clear Mr. Barnes likes the idea of a 1980's Hispanic-American culture peppered with handsome Latin men and strong Latina women, but this story seems like a deliberate attempt to manipulate the audience's feelings (especially the last scene). This is not his story to tell. I wonder if there were any Latin people around wherever Mr. Barnes grew up.
