Inspired by Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard, El Nogalar (The Pecan Orchard) follows the Galvan family as they return home after years of living in the U.S. Set amidst the the explosive drug wars in modern day Mexico, they must now come to terms with encroaching drug cartels, economic upheaval and a new class order. Dunia, the Galvan family's housekeeper, watches Maité Galvan and her daughters Valeria and Anita waste away their wealth and risk losing their home and beloved pecan orchard to a drug cartel. Written by Tanya Saracho (Devious Maids, How to Get Away with Murder), El Nogalar addresses issues of class and entitlement, while also exploring one family's struggle with a violent and changing world. Obsidian Art Space presents Saracho's dramatic comedy at Houston's Obsidian Theater.
