GLUE TRAP, a new play written and performed by acclaimed Brazilian actress Sueli Rocha, begins its NY run on October 8th at the Axis Theatre.
Originally from Brazil, Sueli Rocha has been living in New York since 1990. In Brazil, she has appeared in numerous productions including A Midnight Summer’s Dream (directed by Yara Fa Silveira); four plays by Garcia Lorca; Guarnieri’s Ele nao Usam Black Tie (directed by Lala Schneider), and Zumbi (directed by Oraci Gemba), among many others.
Next week, we’ll be doing an exclusive interview with Ms Sueli Rocha – but for now, just take a look at this filmed excerpt from the play and read the official synopsys down below.

New York City is a GLUE TRAP — the more you move, the more stuck you get. A successful Brazilian actress immigrates to The Big Apple. While cleaning homes, she encounters a myriad of unexpected situations, which she responds to in her own inimitable, highly-theatrical style. Moving amongst badly-educated photographers, lousy babysitters and “perfect” men, she deciphers the strange and heartbreaking similarities between all people and the unusual connections one stranger can make to another. Funny, tender, full of loss and redemption, this glimpse into the extraordinary lives of the most ordinary people provides a sense of the confusion, laughter, love and death inherent in New York City life.
