'Below U.S.' explores Speedy Gonzalez and his identity crisis | Crosscut.com: "Try to put yourself in Speedy Gonzalez’s sombrero (he doesn’t wear shoes). Every day he must cross a fence that separates the “haves” and the “have-nots.” And in that crossing, he has developed multiple identities.
On one side of the fence, he is a hero — a tiny Robin Hood of the Rio Grande. He helps compatriots to their safety, brings music to their fiestas, and steals enough cheese for everybody. On the other side, Speedy is considered a lawless bandit looking to get something for nothing.
This is just the beginning of Below U.S., a new play created by Tikka Sears and Manuel Castro of Memory War Theater."
