In this episode we discuss two plays written by Dolores Prida, Coser y Cantar and Botánica. We provide some background on the author and how her works embody many of the themes and concepts we see in other Latinx playwrights from New York City. Rojo looks at Coser y Cantar and the role of NYC as an interior scape and a bilingual city, as well as through the lens of media and culture. Then Rebecca considers the "transcultural pendulum" that the the main character Milagros experiences in Botánica along with the symbolism of the buffalos in this play. Finally, as usual, we wrap up with a couple of additional recommendations for Latinx theater by NY playwrights.
