ABOUT "LOS SOLES TRUNCOS"

The play tells the story of three sisters from Puerto Rico's upper social class who begin to lose everything-parents, social status, material possessions, and wealth. They shut themselves away in the house on Cristo Street in Old San Juan. The themes of love, jealousy, the passage of time (reflecting change, impotence, and aging), and the American invasion of Puerto Rico are intertwined in the Burkhart sisters' conversations about the pain, victimization, and restlessness they face in Puerto Rico.
