Riding out of the pages of pulp fiction, it’s Zorro—like you’ve never seen him before. Following their 2002 hit Culture Clash in AmeriCCa, the missionaries of mayhem called Culture Clash return to Berkeley Rep with the world premiere of their Zorro in Hell. The trio takes on Zorro’s legend to explore homeland security in the Wild West—when Anglo-Americans struggled with Mexican immigration, Indian gambling and a governor born on foreign soil. At long last, it’s a look behind the mask of a mainstream icon invented by an Irish American…Culture Clash style. Watch as “the fox” battles the Hollywood image machine and challenges barriers of class, race and ethnicity to become a hero for the oppressed in every land. Todos somos Zorro!
