She was always the good daughter. But now her mother, in the twilight of her life, calls her “mala”—bad to the core.

Melinda Lopez’s funny, brutally honest, and ultimately cathartic solo play is an irreverent exploration of how we live, cope, and survive in a challenging moment, and what happens when we strive to be good but don’t always succeed. Theatermania calls it “deeply affecting,” while The Boston Globe named it “one of the best plays of the year. Piercingly honest and exquisitely moving.”

In our commitment to provide access to the widest San Diego audience, The Old Globe will present Mala in Spanish on selected dates. Mala is supported by production sponsors the Globe Guilders.

Enjoy Mala from May 7 through June 17 at The Old Globe on the following schedule:
