Spain

Barbara, recently deserted by her husband of five years, discovers a Conquistador in her living room. Though she has had vivid fantasies about Spain, the Conquistador and his cruel and bloodthirsty approach to life were never part of them … until now. Through him and a maze of real and imaginary characters - including her best friend Diversion, a Mayan Ancient, and a very familiar guitar player - Barbara sorts through the leftovers and finds her Duende. A seriously magical comedy. Knable is an imaginative dramatist with a supple talent for the bizarre. His text is a maze, or perhaps a mirrored hall in an amusement park, where nothing is what it appears to be … outrageously funny. -Robert L Daniels, Variety You will feel warmed by the demented cheer of this story of a wife whose strange and entrancing dream helps her cope after her husband leaves … SPAIN bears great similarities to Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz in its rendering of a bizarre dreamscape where truth lies hidden in the madness … At its cockamamie heart, the play is a sweet story about an angry, cast-adrift woman who finds in dreams strength and resources she didn’t know she had … If you are looking for a bit of warm-weather diversion, SPAIN is the place to be. -Jayne M. Blanchard, The Washington Times Knable has landed somewhere on the map close to Christopher Durang and John Patrick Shanley. -NY Theatre Wire.com
