BOLEROS FOR THE DISENCHANTED Plays At Goodman Theater 6/20-7/26

Goodman Theatre is proud to present José Rivera's Boleros for the Disenchanted-"an Eden of profound beauty" (Variety) and "breathtakingly poetic" (The New York Times)-directed by Goodman Resident Artistic Associate Henry Godinez. Performances are June 20 - July 26, 2009 in the Albert Theatre. Tickets are $10 - $70.

When Flora's fiancé breaks her heart, she vows never to fall for an unfaithful man again. Then she meets Eusebio, who sweeps her off her feet and off to America-away from her family and her familiar life in Puerto Rico. Thirty-nine years later, an angel visits Eusebio with a mysterious message that stirs up old secrets and causes Flora to question the life she has tirelessly built in a foreign land. Boleros for the Disenchanted is a bittersweet and ultimately uplifting story about the everyday reality of marriage and the often undignified struggle to hold on to love in the face of life's unexpected challenges.
