NEW YORK—Playwright Tanya Saracho has taken on the provocative topics of ethnicity and class in her 100-minute two-hander “Fade,” now playing at New York’s Cherry Lane Theatre under the auspices of Primary Stages.
Class, and how it impinges on people’s lives, is far the more interesting topic, as displayed by Lucia (Annie Dow), a somewhat uppity, upper-middle-class, Mexican-born American, and Abel (Eddie Martinez), a Los Angeles-born lower-class Mexican.
Annie Dow's Lucia is the more difficult role.
