Inspired by Juan Luis Guerra’s Como Abeja Al Panal, new off-Broadway play Bees & Honey is a Washington Heights love story that follows young married couple Manuel and Johaira as they face the age-old question: Is love enough?
In this episode of The Revolución, playwright Guadalís Del Carmen talks with co-hosts Kathryn Garcia Castro, Diego Lastra and Court Stroud about her artistic journey from script to production, why she set the work in "Alto Manhattan" rather than her native Chicago, and how she she found inspiration in a bachata song by Guerra, the legendary singer-songwriter from the Dominican Republic.
Bees & Honey began previews on May 4, 2023. Opening night is planned for Monday, May 22, for a limited run through June 11, 2023 at MCC Theater’s Susan & Ronald Frankel Theater(511 W 52nd Street, New York, NY 10019) and is presented in collaboration with The Sol Project.
