Anyone who believes a full-length play set in the (relative) here and now can't be engaging featuring only two actors in one continuous scene and setting must drop everything and read ALMA by Benjamin Benne. This mother/daughter play is touching, poignant, and realistic all at once, covering a specific yet universal experience for many in the Latino community in the United States. Benne's stylistic formatting and verse of the dialogue adds a literary dimension to an otherwise grounded setting and well-drawn characters. I can't wait to see this one live! Perfect for a professional black box...
