A Bicycle Country

This is a story about three Cubans set out on a push for America to find freedom from the persecution of their native land. One of them is a girl named Ines who helps an older man named Julio. Ines tries to convince Julio to help her with her plan to flee Cuba. Also, Julio is a broken man who finds a new life through the passion of Ines. Pepe who is a young man, full of life also helps Julio. However, they always have a challenge for the love between him and Ines. Julio and Ines they are kissing in a scene, meaning that they have a good relationship each other.  Later, when they try to escape Cuba, this romance becomes a focal point for conflict. Furthermore, Pepe suffers no internal conflict and he does not change as the play progress.
            The second part of this show is a little bit sadder than the first because Julio and Ines burying their romance in a landslide of boring lunatic soliloquies. Also, madness on the high seas has been done death.
            I know that it is a good story because this shows us what really happened with Cubans who tried to escape Cuba at that time. Also, this is happening today with some Cubans who want to come to United States or other countries for better life. For Example, I have a friend who was born in Cuba to a Cuban girl and a Dominican boy. He and his mother could enter to the Dominican Republic with the help of his father, but his father wanted his uncle to come with them and people of the immigration in Cuba did not want that his uncle went with them because it was forbidden that a Cuban went out of Cuba. Then, his uncle was planning to flee Cuba while my friend and his family were in the Dominican Republic. Later, his uncle could escape Cuba, but he said that it was very difficult to come to the Dominican Republic because he had to spend five days hiding in a boat without foods or water. Finally, I from the bottom of my heart suggest to you to see in any theater where they play this story to learn a little bit more about Cuba and Cubans.
