Karen Zacarías play has a Shakespearean-like story about two Mexican baby girls accidentally switched at birth
In preparing her version of a telenovela for the stage, Mexico-born playwright Karen Zacarías reacquainted herself with these much-loved Latin American soap operas.
“It’s been rebuilt for this idea that the production could go to Broadway,” said Zacarías, whose “Native Gardens” was produced at the Globe five years ago. “We’ve approached it with that in mind.” A fan of actor/director/writer Santiago-Hudson’s play “Lackawanna Blues,” Zacarías calls working with him on “Destiny of Desire” a “joyous” collaboration.“He’s approached it with curiosity, bringing his lived-in experience to it. Getting to see it from his eyes and explaining it in a different way has been really healthy,” she said.
“She sent me this piece and I literally fell in love with it,” said Santiago-Hudson. “It was exactly what I felt I needed in my career right now. First of all, it was by a Latin writer, and I haven’t done a lot of Latin work. I wanted to pay more respect to my Latin culture.
