"Durango is
quietly devastating…Carlos Murillo’s staging is fittingly both stark and
tender…Cho’s work feels so distinctly
American…deft, penetrating scenes…understated
but detailed performances…tense moments build to an emotionally shattering
climax."
- Zac Thompson, Chicago Reader

"Durango manages
to deftly evoke a family where no male really has the
words to reach another male…Cho is a compassionate and interesting writer
able to
see the world from more than one side…grounded in familial truth."
- Chris Jones, Chicago

"a road trip with a difference … echoes of both Death of a Salesman
and Leaving Iowa…has
the ring of truth… directed with
an appealing minimalism...at once universal and specific."

"An automobile
journey of intimate scenes…elegantly simple in presentation…
truthfully written and exceptionally well performed…Director
Carlos Murillo
delves deep…full of theatrical surprises and painterly beauties."
- Jonathan Abarbanel, Windy City
Times
"a drama that's timeless in its assessments of families but
frighteningly timely in its look at American
economics."
- Christopher Piatt, Time Out Chicago
ABOUT DURANGO
To the outside world, the Lee boys look like the perfect Korean
American sons: Isaac plans to be a doctor and his younger brother, Jimmy, is a champion swimmer with a bright future. But when their widowed father,
Boo-Seng, decides to take them on a road trip to Durango, Colorado, all three find themselves grappling with old memories and unhealed wounds. As
tempers flare and secrets break open, the difference between who they are and who they’ve pretended to be threatens to tear the family apart.
