The Concert - El Concierto

Havana, 2000. Fidel Castro has just unveiled a lifesize statue of John Lennon. But former musician Johnny can remember a time, thirty years before, when the Beatles were not so celebrated in Cuba. He steals the statue and attempts to re-assemble his rock band. But dredging up the past only rubs salt into today's wounds

In January 2004 El Concierto won the Pinhero Prize for the Best Cuban Play of the past two years. It aslo won a new prize, jointly awarded by the Royal Court Theatre and Nick Hern Books for the Best New Cuban Play

El Concierto premiered at the Sotano Theatre, Havana in 2003
