Havana is Waiting
by Eduardo Machado

This comedy-drama takes a strong political stand on the divisive issue of the United States’ embargo on Cuba.

The play begins with flamboyant writer Federico making his first trip back to Cuba, thirty-some years after he immigrated to the States as a child.

In Cuba, Federico and his friend Fred meet Ernesto, a car driver and lifelong resident of Havana.

The three men get to know each other better and soon learn where the real boundaries of the world lie.

The play examines of the complex relationships that exist not only between men, but between the countries in which they live.

The play is a part of Machado's Before and After the Revolution series, a group of four plays about the Cuban Revolution.

Other plays in the series are: Modern Ladies of Guanabacoa, In the Eye of the Hurricane and Once Removed.
