The Mexican Husband

As a biligual adaptation of Bertolt Brecht’s one-act play “The Jewish Wife” (1937), my version follows the events of a husband’s final night with his wife in Los Angeles before running for the Mexican border.

A heartfelt account of the ways in which exclusionary immigration policies play out, ‘The Mexican Husband’ asks questions about the state of humanity in an era of immigration enforcement, border walls, and enduring prejudice — both visible and invisible.

At all locations where the play has been presented, performers have improvised using different props.
