The Real El Nogalar ..hmmm

When I heard of this play, over the summer, I thought it the title was cool. Then I started reading the play, and I began to fall in love. The language that is used, Spanglish, is exactly the way I speak; I mix English words with Spanish phrases and visa versa. It was very natural for me to read and understand this play. As you may know, I absolutely loathe reading and I am quite slow at it, but this recreation of The Cherry Orchard was beautifully written and visually enticing.
My favorite character was a mix between Lopez and Dunia. Both were spicy and always had a comeback for smart words. I liked Dunia because she respects her mother and watches what she says in her presence, while still having fun with her. Lopez reminds me of myself, he is very protective, fun, and knows what to do in serious situations. The story, because it is based on a Chekov play is familiar and still hits certain points; like modern vs. classic. I cannot wait to see how it is going to be produced at Loyola this winter.
