this play is not about Monica Lewinsky

Martín was thrilled to travel to Scotland! “Monica: This Play Is Not About Monica Lewinsky” made its WORLD PREMIERE at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in the summer of 2019. After a brief run at New York's 59E59 Theatre, Monica landed at the Greenside Venue's Forest Theater in Edinburgh and ran from August 2nd-August 17th. Martín played the role of Sam, Monica’s long-time partner.

The play follows a woman named Monica through a series of relationships. Jumping in time between the 80s and present day, we watch as Monica reckons with her past self and navigates the cost of intimacy in a culture that no longer values privacy. With a strong female protagonist at the helm, this play asks, how do we, personally and nationally, react to sex and scandal and how are men and women treated differently when the private becomes public?


EVITA

Martín has recently portrayed the role of Agustín Magaldi in Evita, directed by Marcia Milgrom Dodge at Riverside Theater in Vero Beach Florida.

Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Lyrics by Tim Rice. Winner of 7 Tony Awards® including Best Musical, Evita is the passionate, exhilarating story of Eva Perón who used her charisma and charms to rise from her penniless origins to political power as the first lady of Argentina at the age of 27. Acclaimed and adored as a champion of the poor, her glamour, power and greed ended with her heart-breaking death at an early age. With an electrifying score of pop, jazz and Latin influences, Evita is filled with unforgettable Broadway numbers including its grand anthem, “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina.” 


THE ORPHAN OF ZHAO

In the Fall of 2018, Martín was in China where he played the roles of General Han Jue and retired Deputy Official Gongsun Chu-Jiu, in The Orphan of Zhao at the Beijing Music Festival.

Playwright: Ji Jun Xiang

Director: Chen Shi-Zheng

Script Adaptation: David Greenspan

Music and Lyrics: Stephin Merritt

On October 14, 2018 Chen's music theater The Orphan of Zhao, which premiered in 2003 at New York's Lincoln Center, finally received its first performance in Asia. Reimagining the beauty of Chinese classical drama through heavy Western aesthetics, this work evokes the essence of oriental aesthetics through minimalism, symbolism, and Western actors impersonating Chinese characters in English. Envisioning the two works as a double bill, BMF hopes to expand the exploration of "Chineseness", breaking through the barriers between the East and West, to discover new possibilities latent in traditional Chinese theatrical works, and to introduce Chinese audiences to works by outstanding Chinese artists from overseas.

Martín worked on the set of "Knights of Newark" where he played Ernesto the father of an immigrant family struggling to survive in a hostile environment. 

KNIGHTS IN NEWARK is about about a young girl with a vivid imagination that lives in an apartment building that has been cursed by the black knights that have appeared in her neighborhood. The girl, Marta, makes it her mission to protect her parents from the curse at her own peril, even if it means angering the witch that lives in Apartment 1A... 

Knights in Newark is a dystopic fable that addresses the current immigration crisis effecting hundreds of thousands of families in the Unitied States. In the last six months alone the tactics used to enforce questionable deportation laws has seen families separated at a moments notice with no civil or legal protection. The result is an entire generation of legally born children faced with the ongoing threat of having their parents taken away, never to return.
