The play is a collection of comic monologues in which characters negotiate sexual identity and various Latino cultural (sometimes mixed) identities. Relationships and marriage, monogamy and sexual adventurism, legality vs. “illegality” all clash in a contemporary setting of American politics (with mostly a Southwestern focus.) One recurring character, Ulysses, starts off the play with his various dating misadventures and ends it on a high, hopeful note. In between, poignancy and tragedy highlight some other cultural struggles. This is not a traditional play with a complete linear form, but more of a collage play held together by common themes of contemporary political and social struggles surrounding a picturesque set of queer-identified characters.
