“Nothing catches more attention than a mass shooting in this country.” I realized that I was holding my breath as I read, desperate to know how Toño would respond to the pleas of his cousin. Diaz-Marcano ratchets up the tension to what feels like the breaking point, and then mercilessly torques it even harder. This play is a skillful, passionate response to what so many rightfully feel to be a gross injustice. Don’t understand the dumb-struck shock islanders felt post-hurricane as they were presented with the paper towels? The end of this play may help with that. ”
