«Sonia Flew» by Melinda Lopez

Melinda Lopez's powerful story of love and sacrifice that The Boston Globe calls an "extraordinary achievement by an emerging playwright." Sonia, a Cuban exiled during Castro's rise to power, is forced to relive her tumultuous childhood when her only son enlists in the military following 9/11. Using humor and sensitivity, Sonia Flew paints a lyrical portrait of two families in two countries over a 40-year span.
