638: An Uncommonly Comical Review of an Accidental Assassination Attempt of Fidel Castro
Written by Edward G. Excaliber | Directed by Katerin Crespo-Montano
Set during a chaotic engagement party in 1960s Havana, this madcap farce imagines one wildly fictional attempt among the hundreds made on Fidel Castro’s life. When a series of mishaps seemingly leads to the dictator’s death, a frantic father is forced to don the beard and impersonate Castro for the evening.
With a fourth-wall-breaking narrator, slamming doors, and escalating absurdity, 638 delivers a fast-paced comedy of errors inspired by history.
