Luna and Jane are both immigrants to the United States, alone on Thanksgiving while their husbands are on rotation at the hospital. Still, they are determined to try and make something of their new country’s holiday. Over a bottle of wine and an ill-attempted turkey, the two near-strangers bond over the dreams of possibility promised in their new home, and the painful loneliness of missing the homes they left behind. Against the backdrop of the Hart-Celler Act opening a path to citizenship for professional workers, playwright Lloyd Suh explores the experiences of Asian immigrants in the 1970s in this funny and moving two-hander.
“In a nation of immigrants, this story belongs to everyone.”- The Somerville Times
