Zorro X 2

Bernardo Solano updates the classic tale of Zorro to the 21st century, complete with immigrant laborers, a sadistic chief of security, and an ineffective computer geek who's taken in by a homeless man who claims to be the original Zorro. "The new ZORRO is one of the most delightful plays you'll see ... Bernardo Solano's witty reimagining of the Zorro story hardly touches the ground as it navigates the treacherous straits between camp and seriousness ... Solano also excels at uninhibited, campy dialogue ..." -Mark Arnest, The Gazette, Colorado Springs ..". A] charmingly raw new ZORRO. TheatreWorks commissioned a fresh take on the swashbuckling, romantic Mexican superhero as a magnificent gift to a Southern Colorado audience where Latinos comprise the largest minority. He also hired an acclaimed Latino creative team, including playwright Bernardo Solano ... this is no standard retelling of the unknown caped avenger who served as a modern precursor to everyone from Batman to Spiderman by defending the undefended and leaving behind his signature 'Z' as his calling card. Rather, Solano's original script ... bend s] the theatrical form in ways both brilliant and bizarre." -John Moore, Denver Post
