Guest Review

Let me preface my review with this: I loved the play. I feel compelled to write about The Women of Padilla because it moved me, and I want to encourage others to be moved as well. I hesitate because the play is delicate, and I am afraid that my words will weigh it down and obscure that lovely feature. In the world presented by playwright, Tony Meneses, we meet the ad hoc family, fitfully created. Women left behind after their husbands - eight brothers - have left for a mysterious, yet sadly familiar war.
