Interview: ‘Cane’ Creator Cynthia Cidre

Created by Cynthia Cidre, the show features many elements of her personal experience and unique writing trademarks, such as her father’s experience in the sugar industry and her inclusion of adopted characters in large Cuban-American families. Cane stars an impressive Latino cast, including Jimmy Smits, Nestor Carbonell, Hector Elizondo and Rita Moreno.

Cynthia Cidre spoke to BuddyTV about how the show initially came into being, the comparisons between Cane and Shakespeare’s King Lear, and the overall attractiveness of her show’s cast. Below you will find the complete transcript as well as the mp3 audio file of the interview.”
