INVIERNO by José Cruz González to Kick Off Red Bull Theater Revelation Readings

RED BULL THEATER has revealed details of the first presentation of the all new season of OBIE Award-winning Revelation Readings (offered both in-person and online). 

Red Bull’s Revelation Reading series will kick off Monday October 20th with INVIERNO by José Cruz González, directed by Madeline Sayet, live in-person from the Peter Jay Sharp Theater (7:30 PM ET). The recording will be available from 7:30 PM ET on Tuesday, October 21st until 11:59 PM ET on Sunday October 26th. Open Captions will be available beginning at  7:30 PM ET on Wednesday, October 22nd until 11:59 PM ET on Sunday, October 26th. Produced in association with Borderlands Shakespeare Colectiva. 

In this powerful new version of The Winter’s Tale, José Cruz González uses Shakespeare’s story of jealousy, betrayal, and redemption to heal wounds of colonialism. Set against the rich cultural backdrop of California’s Central Coast, the play travels between the U.S. invasion of Mexico in 1846 and the 21st Century, and opens with a lullaby in the language of the Chumash Native Americans, sung by the character Paulina as a healer who weaves the voice of Indigenous resistance into the temporal borderlands of Shakespeare’s romance.
