 I Hate Fucking Mexicans         Working on a Special Day

I Hate Fucking Mexicans

Synopsis:
In a celebration of bigotry, a woman in a border town recounts the racial tensions that divide her community and lead to an explosive encounter. I HATE FUCKING MEXICANS enters a bizarrely poetic world that is both disturbing and funny. Written by one of Mexicos most well known playwrights, it explores the strong sentiment of fear and hatred that comes with the unknown.

Working on a Special Day

Synopsis:
May 8th, 1938. Hitler visits Mussolinis Italy. In a singular performance style two actors create a bittersweet human drama that unfolds against the political landscape of rising fascism. Inspired by Ettore Scola's 1977 Oscar-nominated film, this play explores a life-changing encounter between an overworked housewife and a mysterious bachelor. Fast pace, crack timing, whimsical inventiveness (New York Times). Genius! This sort of inventiveness is rarely seen in New York (TheaterMania.com). Charming - worth celebrating **** (Time Out, New York, Critics Pick).

Notes:
Gigliola Fantoni (trans Danya Taymor, Ana Graham & Antonio Vega)
