Reviews

A 2001 review in Back Stage magazine called the play "poetic...a deeply moving love story and tragedy".[1] A review in The New York Times said that "the conflicts that the conflicts that interest Mr. Sanchez – ones between good girl and bad, obedient daughter and independent woman, heterosexual and homosexual, and most pertinently, between Latina and American – are thoughtfully enmeshed".[4]
