the beautiful land i seek (la linda tierra que busco yo)

A World Premiere Run

In collaboration with Latinx Playwrights Circle & Fault Line Theatre! 

Written by Matthew Barbot
Directed by José Zayas

It's 1950. Oscar and Gris hurtle towards Washington, DC on a mission: strike in the name of Puerto Rican independence. When their trip goes off the rails, the two men confront familiar faces from the past, new questions about the future, and a tough decision to stay the course or get off the train. If only the other passengers would stop interrupting!  Loosely based on historical events and definitely based on recent ones, the beautiful land i seek (la linda tierra que busco yo) is a funny, gripping rollercoaster ride through Puerto Rico's relationship to the United States. 

A co-production with Latinx Playwrights Circle and Fault Line Theater for Pregones/PRTT’s Plataforma: The Bronx-Broadway Showcase for Latiné Theater. Written by Matt Barbot. Directed by José Zayas.

All performances at The Puerto Rican Traveling Theater: 304 W 47th Street, New York, NY, 10036
