Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture’s resident organization Magic Theatre has revitalized their 2020 season by creating a virtual viewing experience for Ricardo Pérez González’s wickedly funny tragedy Don’t Eat The Mangos. Don’t Eat The Mangos opened to rave reviews, but had to close early because of the COVID-19 public health emergency.
González portrays life on his home island of Puerto Rico with compassion and humor through the saga of three sisters living just outside the capital city of San Juan.
A hurricane wreaks havoc on the beautiful island as the sisters struggle to care for their ailing father. Secrets and ugly truths are revealed that cause the siblings to confront their legacy, wrestle with betrayal, stay true to their familia and homeland, and seek a satisfying revenge.
Tickets for this unique viewing opportunity are Pay-What-You-Can, from $15 to $50. The link and password to access the recording are sent after the initial confirmation email. Don’t Eat The Mangos can be enjoyed until Monday, May 11, 2020.
