Fur ​is the story of Citrona, a hirsute young woman who is purchased by Michael at a sideshow to be his bride. Michael has a fetish for animals and runs a pet shop in post­apocalyptic Los Angeles which has become a giant sand pit. He hires Nena, an animal trapper to catch and bring food to the caged Citrona. But Citrona falls in love with Nena who’s in love with Michael. A tragi­comic triangular retelling of the Beauty & the Beast where the beast wins. FUR was written while Migdalia was a student of Maria Irene Fornés at INTAR’s Hispanic­ Playwrights­ in­ Residence Laboratory, having its world premiere at Latino Chicago Theater Company in 1995, directed by Ralph Flores.
