←Recommendations of REVOLT!

A moving journey of survival with a lesson on what we hold on to and who it ends up hurting. Powerful and well done.

Beautifully theatrical in its use of flexible time and space, powerful double-casting of certain characters, potent moments of audio and visual stimulation that heighten and help tell the story, and well-executed narration by a figure whose emotional stakes in the story become clear in a revealing and dynamic way. The narrative is consistently compelling and manages to interview the personal, political, and historical seamlessly. Gripping and begs to be seen live!

Nelson Diaz-Marcano is fast becoming one of may favorite playwrights. This play is so raw, so real, so emotionally driven and and important narrative of a part of history we don't talk about enough; a part of history we should talk about more often. This play needs to be seen, experienced and never forgotten!

A page turning, enlightening insight on the pains and troubles of Puerto Rico, what it means to be from a country fighting to hold it's identity in the shadow of western ideal and capitalism. Great writing of history without the feeling of a lecture.

A majestic, beautiful, and extremely IMPORTANT play. This must be staged as soon as possible because it needs to be seen. Not only is it a remarkable lesson in history for those who may not know (myself included), but it is also a gorgeous story of revenge--and how revenge only hurts the person who seeks it. Diaz-Marcano gorgeously weaves in literary references throughout the show and the end had my heart pounding--and that was just from reading it. A stark, stunning, fantastic play that is clearly a labor of love. This play will go places. Highly recommended.

An ambitious drama of historic scope covering significant chapters in Puerto Rico's fight for independence and its relationship with the US mainland. It's never a dense history lesson. A critical and intimate character study of both an island and its hero. A fearless docudrama that looks to the past - and at the inequities faced by islanders deemed as savages - while forcing us to consider the present: the US government's racist relationship with the island after the natural disaster. Highly-theatrical. Diaz-Marcano commands attention from page one. A playwright to keep on your radar. A play that needs your attention!

If I had a stage - this would be on it! What an amazing piece! There is so much that is beautiful. My favorite is the repeated imagery of the beach. I've been to Puerto Rico. I wish I had read this play before going. What a pulse it has! The language demands passion, and actors better "bring it" to do this work justice. Brilliant. Also - love the role of the narrator and decision to project images on scrims. Good stuff.
