Can one woman change the mind of a man and the fate of a nation? Fidel Castros most trusted confidant and political partner, Celia Snchez, is never far from his side as he grapples with how to move his country forward. Its 1980 and a failing economy has led 10,000 Cuban citizens to seek asylum at the Peruvian Embassy in Cuba. Castro must decide what kind of a leader he wants to be: merciful or mighty. Imbued with magical realism, Arena Stages seventh Power Play imagines a conversation between Cubas most influential female revolutionary and its most notorious political leader in a contest between morality and power.
