Neighbors: A Fair Trade Agreement

Recommended by

  • Steven Strafford: Neighbors: A Fair Trade Agreement

    This play moves at a frenetic clip, using comedy as a cover for the deep complications of North American relations. Stark visuals and truly funny discourse about Ray Romano sitcoms make for an entertaining read!

    A revealing play for our time at relations between those of two countries and what it means to be neighbors today. Well done.

  • Matthew Paul Olmos: Neighbors: A Fair Trade Agreement

    This play looks intelligently at the relations between the U.S. and Mexico, but does so in a way which brings into focus the ridiculous of what has become between countries. Cubria has a way of pulling you into a world where we find ourselves laughing, but then realize the political depth of what we just laughed at. "Neighbors" looks at what community could be.
