This specific play is produced by a well-known playwright, Steve Martin. The play was originally written back in the year 1993, but has been put on by many different theatres across the world since then. The focus of this play is a spoof on how it would play out if there was somehow a meeting that occurred between Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein, one of the greatest artist and greatest thinkers ever. They are arguably two of the most influential people of the 20th century, and definitely help mold our world into what it is today. I think the topics and main themes and ideas can all be tied together into a single category because they all relate.
Wilson initially began his writing career as a poet before moving on to theater. He enjoyed many successes with plays such as “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” and “Fences” and considered one of the most influential playwrights in American theater (Kiffer, 2009, April 9). “Two Trains Running” is one of August Wilson’s “cycle of plays.” The “cycle of plays,” sometimes called the "Pittsburgh Cycle," is a series of plays set in Pittsburgh that depict the life of African Americans in the 20th century with each play set in a different decade (August, 2010).

Cuban son music emerged in the country during the 1910s and by 1930 had gained worldwide success. This style of music, a blend of Spanish canción, Spanish guitar and African rhythms and played in the clave rhythm, provided a key symbol of Afro-Cuban culture and identity while also heavily influencing other musicians and music genres. It provided Havana’s Afro-Cuban lower classes with a source of income and the chance to enter a previously European dominated market. Son was exported to the rest of the world during the 1930s and 1940s and became particularly popular in the United States, also providing the grounds for the creation of salsa music in the 1970s.

Cinco de Mayo represents “the right of the people to self-determination and national sovereignty, and the ability of non-Europeans to defend those rights against modern military organizations."
