"José Rivera’s new drama MASSACRE (SING TO YOUR CHILDREN) has both the
visceral thrill of Stephen King and the eerie magic realism of Gabriel Garcia
Marquez.
The playwright takes a group of everyday people, living in a
typical small town, and plops them into a fever dream of hatred, retribution and
regeneration.
Rivera’s darkly comic play…"
Mary Houlihan, Sun-Times (Chicago)
"…there’s also downright militancy and politically charged passion in
Rivera’s poetry that mesmerizes with its truthfulness and topical urgency….
MASSACRE really is one of those difficult Rorschach Tests-of-a-play whose
narrative loopiness, supernatural meanings and political allegory will haunt and
confound each audience member in a different way…."
