“The new ZORRO! is one of the most
delightful plays you’ll see…
Bernardo Solano’s witty reimagining of the Zorro story hardly touches the
ground as it navigates the treacherous straits between camp and seriousness…
…Solano also excels at uninhibited, campy dialogue….”
Mark Arnest,
The Gazette, Colorado Springs
“…TheatreWorks' charmingly raw new ZORRO.
TheatreWorks commissioned a fresh take on the swashbuckling, romantic Mexican
superhero as a magnificent gift to a Southern Colorado audience where Latinos
comprise the largest minority. He also hired an acclaimed Latino creative team,
including playwright Bernardo Solano….
…this is no standard retelling of the unknown caped avenger who served as a
modern precursor to everyone from Batman to Spiderman by defending the
undefended and leaving behind his signature "Z" as his calling card.
Rather, Solano's original script…bend[s] the theatrical form in ways both
brilliant and bizarre.
