Choke tells the story of Esperanza Guerrero who, along with her husband, Gonzalo, have worked all their lives to provide opportunities to their daughter, Cassandra, a professional who now lives in New York. But a family medical crisis unleashes intergenerational conflict in the Guerrero family that mirrors the battle that the family has to fight against a corporation. With humor, this work portrays today's American society from the perspective of one of the most exciting young playwrights of the Latino community, the Californian Emilio Infante.

 

Sucede hasta en las mejores familias cuenta la historia de Esperanza Guerrero, una mexicana de Texas, que, junto a su esposo, Gonzalo Guerrero, no han hecho otra cosa sino trabajar duro toda su vida para darle una oportunidad a su hija, Cassandra, ya una profesional que vive en Nueva York. Pero un inconveniente médico desata el conflicto intergeneracional en la familia Guerrero. Un enfrentamiento que, al mismo tiempo, va paralelo a la batalla que la familia tiene que librar frente una corporación, contra el racismo, pero también contra los prejuicios más arcaicos de la tradición latinoamericana. Con humor, esta obra retrata la sociedad americana de hoy desde el punto de vista de uno de los autores jóvenes más excitantes de la comunidad latina, el californiano Emilio Infante.
