THE TROPIC OF X is a play by 2012 OBIE-award winning playwright Caridad
Svich. This five-character play tells the defiant love story of Mori and
Maura, two street kids hustling and trying to survive in a broken city
somewhere in the polyglot Americas. This new edition, which marks the
2013 North American premiere of the play, includes an introduction by
scholar Marvin Carlson, a director's statement by Nathan A. Cooper and
an essay by scholar Tamara Underiner.
