The Cuban Swimmer Seeing Beyond the Glory In the drama play, The Cuban Swimmer by Milcha Sanchez-Scott, the staging elements play a huge role to the play. The play generally takes place in one scene throughout the play. The main characters, the Suarez family, are on a “rag tag” boat cheering on the swimming Margarita. There are many events that occur that could take away from the main focus which is Margarita. However, throughout the play all the activities going on are revolving around her. This play uses “magic realism” which causes unlikely events to happen. The adversities that Margarita had to overcome help the play come to life right before the audiences eyes. The magical realism helps the play come along as well. Margarita has to deal with hardships like an oil slick, hallucinations, and her father’s pride and dream. Margarita was swimming not just for herself, but for the pride of her whole family Swimming from California to Catalina Island is not an easy task to accomplish regardless how strong a swimmer one may claim to be.
