Sancocho

Simmering between two Puerto Rican sisters is a family tension that finally comes to a boil. Forced to confront the reality of their father's rapidly declining health, Renata and Caridad clash over cultural divides, unearth old wounds and reveal long-buried secrets. As Caridad's sancocho bubbles on the stove, will the two sisters reconcile their past resentments to face their uncertain futures - together? "Heavily seasoned... Sancocho, with the stew as its central metaphor, is a meditation on inheritance and family, how its members might eat and celebrate together, but suffer apart." - The New York Times "Authentic... a highly realistic depiction of kitchen-table politics and itchy family dynamics that become frozen and ignored, like so much leftover stew... a worthwhile meditation on how people and events can be perceived very differently, and how that divergent outlook has the potential to sour a relationship." - Theatermania
