Press Quotes
“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
