Summary:
Cosmic chaos erupts in this apocalyptic comedy of urban realities and guardian angels. Marisol Perez, a young single professional woman living in the asphalt jungle of the Bronx, finds herself sucked into a whirlpool of homelessness, violence and racism when her guardian angel deserts her to fight in what may be the final battle in heaven. —Playbill.com
“Winner of the 1993 Obie Award. An apocalyptic urban fantasy which urges society to ‘wake up’ and somehow find a way to recover the long-lost and much-needed compassion for our fellow man, as this is the only way to save our world.” —Dramatists Play Service
“…Rivera’s cruelly slanted world view…is fascinating.” —NY Post
“An urban nightmare that grows increasingly bleaker for its young heroine, “Marisol” is a dark fantasia that reflects a number of the social and spiritual troubles of the early 1990s.” — The New York Times
Marisol is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.
