Marabella

Written by Boni B. Alvarez
Directed by Charles Yee

A modern-day adaptation of Euripides' seminal tragedy, the titular character of Medea is transformed into Marabella, an immigrant nanny stowed away by her boss in an apartment in Pacoima, California after becoming pregnant with his child. Marabella explores what it means to be a female immigrant in the U.S. today: the hardships, sacrifices, and concessions needed to survive and to find acceptance and love all while being made invisible in plain sight.
