Las Quiero a las Dos
I Want Them Both

by Ricardo Talesnik (Argentina)     directed by Mario Marcel (Argentina)

at Gunston Arts Center  -  Theatre 2

2700 South Lang St., Arlington, VA 22206

In Spanish with English Surtitles

Comedy   -   Area Première   -   Ages: 13+

In times of crisis…in marriages there is also crisis…In a delightful comedy, the classic situation of the love triangle unfolds in a theatrical game. VERY CLEVER!

DC Theatre Scene "Ricardo Talesnik is the Neil Simon of Hispanic Theatre." "This well-written play with tour-de-force roles is a surprise a minute." "Marcel directs his three-actor ensemble with break-neck pacing that leaves you breathless." "All three versatile actors...have superb moments that are intellectually challenging..." "You have to see the play to find out what happens next. It’s hilarious." "Peter Pereyra ...expressive face is a wonder to watch" "Karen Morales-Chacana ...is mesmerizing." "Yovinca Arredondo Justiniano ...is the super-smart, intuitive, but pragmatic, wife."

Washington Post  "Staged in boldfaced-and-underscored comic style by Teatro de la Luna Artistic Director Mario Marcel…" "The play provoked regular gales of laughter from an audience at Gunston Arts Center’s Theater Two..." "Pereyra’s Miguel has an aptly flummoxed air." "The production brightens a good deal when Karen Morales-Chacana waltzes on as the willful and exceptionally glamorous Isabel, clad in boots, leggings and a hot-pink blouse." "What is a dreary household task for one person may be a sensual thrill for another, 'Las Quiero a las Dos' archly suggests."

A timeliness and a relevance to the classics are found in this text, which speaks to us of the intimate turbulence of banishment, of exile. The uprooting, the feeling and pride for the land that saw our birth, unforgettable and indelible topics... and with humor that touches us to the core.

A discussion will follow the playreading between the audience, actors and director. The evening will culminate with a Vin d’honneur.
