"The Walls Have Ears" is playwright Robby Ramos' reflection on the Castro revolution's impact on the Cuban nation and families like his

The first time Robby Ramos was on Pan Con Podcast, he told us about a play he’d written. The script (his first) took its inspiration from stories about Cuba that he’d been told by people like his grandfather, who did time as a political prisoner in three different Cuban prisons before going into exile in the United States.

That play, titled “The Walls Have Ears,” is now gearing up for its April 7 premiere at the Westchester Cultural Arts Center in Miami (in English for three weeks, then another three in Spanish, with the title “Las Paredes Oyen”). In our fifth installment of Pan Con Podcast Live (presented by Front Of The House), we hosted a four course dinner for guests who took in a reading of the script by the play’s cast, followed by a conversation with our host Michael Beltrán, playwright Robby Ramos, and director Gabriel José Bonilla.

The dinner was held at The Gibson Room (executive chef Kris Huseby), with four courses plated on dinnerware by Front Of The House and cocktail pairings (by Ariete Hospitality beverage director Tom Lasher-Walker) made with Slane Irish Whiskey and The Glengdronach Scotch Whisky. This event was also sponsored by San Pellegrino, Acqua Panna and Petrossian Caviar.

“The Walls Have Ears” is an intense reflection on totalitarian takeovers like the Cuban revolution and the impact they have on nations and families. It was an honor to have this reading — and the discussion in this episode — at the core of one of our live recordings.
