Imagine taking your favorite television
soap opera and turning it into a stage play. This is called a telenova or
that’s what’s playing at the Arena Stage
in D.C. Award winning playwright Karen Zacarias has written a telenova called, “Destiny
of Desire.” Think “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Dynasty” with music. The play takes place in a Mexican desert town
and is hot with Latin lovers, campy intrigue and great music. The wide divide
between the wealthy and the poor and the morality (or lack of it) of each is front and center. “Destiny of
Desire” is really a lot of fun and provides a very entertaining evening at
the theatre. And, what an ensemble cast of actors!! Great direction by José Luis
Valenzuela, wonderful music coordination by Rosino Serrano and delightful
choreography by Robert Barry Fleming, You’ll enjoy this show!! For tickets,
call 202-488-3300 and check the website at www.arenastage.org.
The show runs
through Oct 18.
