Paloma

"Today and pre-1492 Spain come into collision in a twist on a Romeo & Juliet story (here Latina Catholic meets devout Muslim) in the highly poetic and beguiling PALOMA by Anne García-Romero." Ross Haarstad, Ithaca Times "At its core, PALOMA is a love story. But Paloma also touches on topics such as religious conflict, coexistence and peace. They are noble ideas presented in cleverly poetic metaphors... García-Romero defies the usual gender dynamic with a female pursuer and a reticent male, and it proves a good decision." Graham Gentz, New Mexico Daily Lobo "The evolving love between Ibrahim and Paloma is tender and true. Likewise, the underlying difficulties are also authentic... This is a powerful play that gets under the skin of religious tensions." Rob Spiegel, Talkin' Broadway
