Synopsis: | This is an adaptation of Washington Irving's story, The Devil and Tom Walker. This description is from Metropolitan Playhouse: "Set in 1787, The Devil and Tom Walker's titular hero (Tom, not the other one), hasn't very far to look to find sin. In his town of thrift, industry, fidelity, and fellowship, he stands out as miserly, slothful, irreverent, misanthrope. He is, in short, the perfect client for the Devil, who approaches him with a familiar bargain: in return for a pirate's horde of riches, Tom need only provide the Devil with his immortal soul. Tom is reluctant: the bargain sounds like a lot of work. But when that great Negotiator presents Tom with a surprise gift, the contract is signed, and a very funny yarn (with a surprising moral to boot) spins out." | |||||

Synopsis: | The year is 1916. The world is at war. Kings are falling, and empires are crumbling. And into a small Mexican village near the U.S. border walks Devlyn Byrne, newly arrived from Ireland. There, she meets Pablo Carrillo, a Mexican doctor, and together they embark on a journey for the honor of both families. Or so Pablo believes. Devlyn certainly has a hidden agenda she is not ready to reveal. Dia de los Muertos is a daring new play from Core Creative Productions. Told in English and Spanish, it is both a tale of magical realism and a deconstructed Western. Dia de los Muertos is a story of individuals struggling to be true to themselves in a world disintegrating into violence. And in such a place and in such a time, only one can grow into something more while another descends into darkness. | |||||
