In 1950, two would-be assassins on a train from New York to Washington, DC discuss their plan to strike in the name of Puerto Rican independence. The lock to their compartment is busted, however, and each time the door swings open they find themselves interrupted by figures out of art and history, reflections of what their country means to them and has meant to the United States. As the borders of their reality begin to shift and their train chugs along, the two must finalize their plan and decide how they want their sacrifice to be remembered.
The world premiere of the beautiful land i seek (la linda tierra que busco yo) is produced by Pregones/Puerto Rican Traveling Theater in collaboration with Latinx Playwrights Circle & Fault Line Theatre.
