posted on February 17, 2009
Firehouse Festival of New American Plays 2009 runner-up and talented playwright Caridad Svich has adapted Isabel Allende’s novel of magical realism, The House of the Spirits for the stage. Directed by Jose Zayas, Svich’s play opens in New York City on Wednesday, February 18 at Repertorio Espanol’s theater, and runs through June. Yes, Richmond knows talent when she sees it! We predicted it wouldn’t be long before we heard from Svich and winner Evan Guilford-Blake again!
