The Crying Woman - Haunted Spirits in a Mexican Mystery

“Before a word is spoken in “The Crying Woman,” Kathleen Anderson Culebro’s imaginative new play at the Beckett Theater, the character of La Llorona wanders onstage, singing an ominous lament for her dead children. La Llorona is the crying woman of the title and a ghost from the 16th century. She shows up from time to time throughout the play, warning in mournful song of bad things to come. Certainly she gives the audience a strong hint that the opening scenes of placid domesticity are illusory at best.”
