1. The name of the play we are reading is Manteca by Alberto Pedro Torriente.
2. The characters in the play are three siblings. Pucho and Celistino
are the brothers, and Dulce is the sister.
3. The play is about the issue of food, which the title Manteca,
meaning Lard. The three are cramped in the living room of their
apartment with tightly shut windows in Havana, Cuba. It appears that
their work is leading them nowhere, but their conversations cover a
lot of material. They talk about German tanks, Russian meat, their
families, dinosaurs, and getting land.
4. The most predominate theme in this play that I found was concerning
the lack of food in Cuba. Another theme that is closely related is
the struggle for survival.
5. The question is what the characters mean when they say, Should we do it?
