Jane and Luna run into each other in the grocery store on Thanksgiving in 1973 and discover they have much in common: they’re both recent Asian immigrants, homesick and lonely with hardworking absentee husbands, and adjusting to a new country surprisingly filled with as much political uncertainty as the places they’ve left. Over a bottle of wine (or two) and a questionable frozen turkey, they dream of Disneyland, learning to drive, and an unknowable future as they share their hopes and fears in making a new home in a new reality.



PLAYWRIGHT’S NOTE:

“On casting: These roles are to be performed by Asian or AAPI actors only. Further to this, because language of origin is a critical component of the play, it is essential to cast actors with specific understanding and experience with the respective dialects of the characters.” (Lloyd Suh)
