BAD HOMBRES / GOOD WIVES
by Herbert Siguenza
Directed by Juan Carlos Calderon
What happens when you mix The Importance of Being Earnest, The School for Wives and a narco telenovela? You get Bad Hombres/Good Wives, a hilarious new comedy written by Herbert Siguenza.
Meet Don Ernesto, a muy macho cartel lord of Sinaloa who is used to getting exactly what he wants. In this case, what he wants is Eva - the young woman he sent to a convent to be trained to become his perfect, submissive wife.
En route to meet her future husband, Eva bumps into Mario, the dreamboat son of a rival narco capitán, and her heart leaps. Lust, love and war are in the air. Leave it to Armida, the smartest maid in Mexico, to dream up the scheme to inspire a double wedding that brings an unlikely harmony to the land of cartels and banda music!

With a little bit of masa and some leftover meat, a single mom can make enough tamales to feed her family for an entire month; but Blanca wants more for her granddaughter than to be pregnant at fifteen and stuck in a small house in South Texas with five generations of her abuelas.
