By Jade Alvara Presented by Climate Action Productions & Drayton Arms Theatre It’s 1890. The textile factory workers are all women. They are overworked, underpaid, and fed up with the boss’s unwanted advances. Our protagonist, Mira, is pregnant... and there’s a healer in the woods who can help. Magic seeps through the seams of Mira’s reality as she is dragged into the underworld and is faced with far more than the weight of her own trauma. Folklorica, the debut play by playwright Jade Alvara, is a joyous tearjerker that plays fun at the ridiculousness of classism, shares the love of latinidad, and embodies the strength of workers.
