The family in Eduardo Machado’s new play, “Kissing Fidel,” is pretty messed-up. Daniel is still in the closet at age 30, Oscar writes novels about his adulterous father, and there’s enough incest to make “Oedipus Rex” look like “Little House on the Prairie.”
The play kicks off the 40th anniversary season of INTAR, which produces work in English by U.S. Latino writers. It takes place in the back room of a Miami funeral parlor, where the Cuban-American Marques family has gathered for the final rites of its matriarch. Things get interesting with the arrival of Oscar, a famous author who hasn’t seen the family in years. He resents them for moving him out of Cuba after Castro came to power, and plans to return and forgive Castro by kissing him.
