Press Reviews

"Dignity and hilarity go hand in hand when an old Cuban dowager reluctantly comes to live with her middle-aged daughter in Miami, bringing to America her pride, her maid and her black market connections. “These people, even if wildly accentuated for comedic purpose, ring true and ring beautifully absurd.” —New York Post. “The anger of the characters is real…but Mr. Santeiro, keeping his eye steadfastly on the absurdity of the human condition, makes it all ridiculous."
— The New York Times
