Put finely tuned, grieving characters in a town called Dolores—"sorrow" in Spanish—and under the tender, lyrical hand of playwright José Cruz González, you get something beautiful and moving. In September Shoes, the strains on a marriage emerge after an aunt's funeral in rural Texas, where demons from the past and ghosts of long-dead relatives are impossible to avoid. The painful memories of loss and hardship are tempered by a sprinkling of comic quirky characters, like a hotel maid who enshrines the shoes of the dead on the walls of her house and a graveyard keeper who's also guarding a secret. A common tragic thread unites all of their stories. [SR]
