The Pain of the MacHo and Other Plays
The Pain of the MacHo and Other Plays
In the face of political correctness and the feminist movement, renowned stand-up comedian, scriptwriter and satirist Rick Najera dares to proclaim -- tongue in cheek, of course -- that machos are regular guys, too. In The Pain of the Macho Najera has assembled an ensemble cast of quintessential Latin Lovers or wannabes who pour out their souls in side-splitting monologues. But the zing in the punchline hits us when we realize that their melodramatic, teary-eyed spiels lend sly insights into the dilemma faced not just by Latin men but by all those who must exist at the margins of two intersecting cultural spheres. The two other plays included in this wildly entertaining collection are A Quiet Love and Latinologues . In all three plays, Najera`s wild postmodern melange of ethno-social satire in the language of the average man on the street is brilliant in its simplicity, slipping unobtrusively into the subconscience to color one`s vision forever.
