26 Miles
by Quiara Alegría Hudes
Synopsis
THE STORY: The custody battle left them estranged for eight years.
The road trip destination is two thousand miles across the country.
The mother's skin is brown, the teenage daughter's, white.
So what if reality's nipping at their heels?
This reunited pair runs fast and furious from the secrets in their lives, hunting valuable antiques, chasing arctic explorers, and getting lost in Wyoming's wilderness.
Press Reviews
"Charming, spunky, and ultimately heart-rending…The car trip from Paoli, PA, to Yellowstone Park is transforming and restorative.“ —The New York Times. ”Irresistible family drama…The play's greatest triumph is Beatriz…Frantic, foolish and unapologetically direct, Beatriz is one of the most original and refreshing matriarchs to come to any stage in a long, long time."
— Denver Post
