The story is told by a Woman known as "Poet" (Adelina Anthony, also the play's co-director) and is a dual comparison of her romantic relationship with a woman named Amada (Umana) to the story of the 1995 murder of Latina pop star Selena (reffered to in the play as Sirena).   Poet visits Sirena's Killer Josefa (Virginia Grise) in prison in an attempt to provide her with comfort, understanding and possibly, to save her soul while at the same time the murder of her lover Amada by her son Heyoka (Anthony Castillo) looms in the background.  

They play is an allegorical tale of how repression and denial of one's nature breeds anger and eventually violence.  All the characters are guilty of  repression and denial of either themselves or each other and are in effect, responsible for the violence their actions breed.

They plays four leads (Anthony, Grise,Umana and Castillo) are as compelling to watch as they are brave.  Anthony's power, charisma, and soulfulness  are entrancing,  Grise give a frighteningly real performance as a woman whose own self denial and obsession have driven her to murder and madness. Bonilla's performance as the tragic Amada makes you feel deeply for this woman who though surrounded by people is perpetually alone.  Castillo's performance as the psychotic Heyoka is both funny and truly chilling.

The play is deftly rounded out by it's ensemble cast whose many characters are all specific, colorful and believable.  

They play has only two performances left Tonight 8/28 and tomorrow evening 8/29.  Check it out if you're looking for some compelling theatre!  You also may want to reserve ahead at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/116203
