Cuba and His Teddy Bear
by Reinaldo Povod
Synopsis
Robert De Niro, Ralph Macchio, and Burt Young starred in this harrowing yet often hilarious first play by a young Hispanic playwright in a sold out, limited engagement on Broadway.
Cuba is a small time cocaine and marijuana dealer whose pride and joy is his 16 year old son Teddy.
Cuba has great hopes for his son; what he doesn't know is that the boy has already succumbed to the lure of the streets and is fast becoming a heroin junkie.
Press Reviews
"Vibrates and tingles with an authority that goes beyond the cleverly applied local color of mere verismo atmosphere into truth."
— New York Post
"A play about drug people that has an almost startling warmth, friendliness and humanity. Povod is a writer of real promise."
— Newsweek
