Huntington Theatre Company performance of Sonia Flew

Wellesley Repertory Theatre: Sonia Flew


June 1–June 25: 7:00 PM Thursday, Friday, and Saturday; 2:00 PM Saturday and Sunday
Alumnae Hall Ruth Nagel Jones Theatre (111)

Wellesley Repertory Theatre is proud to present Sonia Flew, by acclaimed playwright, actress, and Lecturer in Theatre Studies Melinda Lopez. It is directed by Senior Lecturer in Theatre Studies Lois Roach.

Sonia’s parents, fearful of the new government, sent their only daughter from Cuba to the United States in 1961. Set in Minneapolis and Havana, a story of family unfolds across the generations as Sonia—now raising two children with her Jewish husband—struggles to come to terms with her past, her lost parents, her own children, and her adopted country.

Past performances of Sonia Flew have received critical acclaim:

Sonia Flew soars with a passion.”
– Terry Byrne, Boston Herald

“[An] engaging new play about family, flight, and forgiveness. What makes Sonia Flew so moving is...its feisty portrayal of family life, whether bathed in the sunlight and fear of early-Castro Cuba or tucked into a bicultural jumble of tchotchkes and adamancy in the post-September 11 Midwest.” – Carolyn Clay, Boston Phoenix
