As a National Committee Reader for the Bay Area Playwrights Festival, I read this play about Maria, a women in her 40s who is seen by her demanding mother, Delores, as not enough for a man to ever want to marry her. As the chance for love arrives, she starts her plight to show her brothers that their mother's love is filled with manipulation. This great family drama, filled with much humor, is also a cautionary tale, hoping to bring light to the necessity of one needing to become their own person.
