Frank Rich,New York TimesIn the Floating Island Plays Cuban-American dramatist Eduardo Machado explores the meaning of his homelands history. This tragi-comic quartet tells the twentieth-century story of several extended families, linked by marriage and then by exile in the United States.The Modern Ladies of Guanabacoa shows one familys climb to wealth in the Cuba of 1928-31. Castros seize of power is the offstage catalytic event in bothFabiola and In the Eye of the Hurricane.
