    Mildred’s Umbrella Theater Company presents Cuckoos, running Jun. 10 - 26, at Talento Bilingue de Houston.

    A skeleton in the cupboard, a doctor in the house, and coitus ad infinitum on the living room floor...In Colin Teevan´s translation of Giuseppe Manfridi´s delightfully obscene comedy, Beatrice, Tito and Tobia discover that the future holds a different past for them. Cuckoos is a tragi-comic retelling of the Oedipus myth.

    "Manfridi´s salacious word-play and innuendo are infectious - a piercing black comedy, a nightmare with surreal, farcical undertones" Nicholas de Jongh, Evening Standard, London.

    "The most delightfully, exhilaratingly, intoxicatingly indecent play I have ever seen...a treat" Sunday Times, London.

    "An Ortonesque sense of rude rebellion...there´s a delicious subversiveness about Manfridi´s surreal farce" International Herald Tribune, London
