Blood Ties / Lazos de Sangre

This dramatic play follows three powerful brothers as they try to navigate honor, responsibilities, and love in their daily lives. The oldest, Santiago, is forced into an arranged marriage to a woman who yearns for a child, but he is keeping a secret from her that will ultimately destroy their marriage. Meanwhile, the middle brother creates an unforeseen situation with his philandering ways, while the youngest brother pursues a love long denied. This play is filled with sorrow, joy, laughter, and a final choice that leaves the audience gasping. Loosely based on “Yerma,” written by Spanish dramatist Frederico Lorca.
