Marisol

Villanova Theatre
800 E. Lancaster Avenue Villanova

Brooklyn is a war zone, coffee is extinct, the moon has disappeared, and angels are trading in their wings for machine guns in José Rivera's Marisol, an Obie Award-winning dark comedy that imagines an urban fantasia set in post-apocalyptic New York City. The Oscar-nominated writer (The Motorcycle Diaries) conjures up a work of magical realism that finds a young, upwardly mobile Latina thrust into a nightmarish journey through the city's apocalyptic wasteland. With her former guardian angel leading an army against a senile God who has lazily forsaken the Earth, Marisol is left to search for hope in the ruins of what was once her home. Enter this fantastical new world order when Marisol touches down at Villanova Theatre.
