LydiaJanuary 18th-March 1A Denver Center World Premiere by Octavio Solis A Mexican immigrant family is mired in grief, rage and guilt over a daughter tragically disabled on the eve of her quinceanera (15th birthday). When the undocumented Lydia arrives in El Paso from Mexico to work as a maid for the Flores family, her nearly miraculous bond with the brain-damaged girl elates, then angers and finally destroys the troubled family – and Lydia herself. Lyrical, dark, shocking and magical – this meditation on family and cultural identity in the 1970s is a brilliant new play from an award-winning writer. |
