En el Nombre de Salomé (“In the Name of Salomé”) is a new play based on Julia Alvarez’s novel about real-life Dominican poet Salomé Ureña de Henríquez. Born in the 1850s, a time of intense political and emotional repression and turmoil in the Dominican Republic, Salomé’s fervent patriotic poems turned her into a national icon. En el Nombre de Salomé is equally the story of Salomé’s daughter, Camila, who grew up in exile within the shadow of her mother’s legend.
