Shows at Repertorio Español The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

AN ADAPTATION OF THE PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING NOVEL BY JUNOT DÍAZ

Adapted & Directed by Marco Antonio Rodríguez

Oscar is a naive “nerd” from New Jersey who has finally left the grips of his imposing Dominican mother and is attending his first semester of college at Rutgers with his rebellious sister. He dreams of becoming the Dominican J.R.R. Tolkien and, most of all, finding love. But Oscar may never get what he wants. Blame the “fukú”—a curse that has haunted Oscar’s family for generations, following them on their epic journey from Santo Domingo to the USA.  The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao explores the endless human capacity to persevere—and risk it all—in the name of love. Performed in Spanish with English supertitles.  SHOW DATES October 12th through 19th, 2019 For tickets, click here. Repertorio Español 138 East 27th Street New York, NY 10016 212-225-9999
