Once More, Dear Friends, Unto The Breach
Quick reminder: Christopher Demos Brown’s Our Lady of Allapattah will have a reading at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday Nov. 20 at GableStage in the Biltmore Hotel at 1200 Anastasia Avenue in Coral Gables. It was originally slated for the day before.
The play focuses on two Miami police detectives assigned to investigate the image of the Virgin Mary that appears on the side of a bodega in a strip mall – a situation that may sound familiar to South Floridians. The linchpin of the case is Eddie Camaro, a brilliant but morally depraved slumlord owner turned cult leader.
The detectives’ different feelings about religion creates a tension between faith and friendship.
This production’s cast includes Todd Durkin, Chaz Mena, John Archie, and Betsy Graver. Stuart Meltzer, who is a member of Zoetic Stage along with Demos Brown, will direct.
