Octavio Solis
"Exhilarating and provocative, Octavio Solis' Santos & Santosmerits a serious look by regional and Off Broadway stages. An ambitious, wickedly funny melodrama [...] Santos is epic in both plot and its tart, free-swinging perspective." - Variety
A crime saga about the Santos Family Law Practice in El Paso of the 1980's, loosely based on the Chagra brothers' killing of Judge John Wood. Drugs, gambling, and trafficking fuel the law office of Santos & Santos, and the brothers are quick to incorporate the younger brother after the death of their father. He questions his relationship to his heritage as he sees his brothers so eagerly trying to live the life of the "American." When one of the brothers is tried for murder, Tomas leads an elaborate plot to assassinate the presiding judge in the trial.
Santos & Santos premiered in a production by Thick Description Theatre Company in San Francisco, CA in December 1993 under the direction of Tony Kelly.
