Five old friends gather on a rooftop in Havana to dance, drink rum, and make sense of the past and present.

Guardian

It is a bit stagey, but heartfelt and well acted.

Rated: 3/5

"Return to Ithaca" gently expands our understanding of life within a society that, in contrast to our own, did not even pretend to cultivate the idea that its citizens were free.

Miami Herald

Return to Ithaca is a bracing and surprisingly vocal expression of angst and frustration by people torn between love for their country and the harsh letdown that resulted from their loyalty.

Rated: 3/4
