Bitter Fruit

Upstream Theater presents the US premiere of BITTER FRUIT, by Argentine playwright Héctor Levy-Daniel, translated by Philip Boehm. María doesn’t understand why her mother hired this new maid. She’s convinced the woman’s spying on behalf of the workers in their factory. But there’s something about her even more unsettling… Tensions smolder as a web of secrets, deceptions, and denials begins to unravel in this taut drama by Argentine playwright Héctor Levy-Daniel, where even love may be sacrificed on the altar of class. With Michele Burdette-Elmore,* Isaiah Di Lorenzo, Jane Paradise,* Jennifer Theby-Quinn* and live music by Lliam Christy. * AEA
