PREPARE TO BE INTENSELY ENTERTAINED
Now Playing
by Lloyd Suh
The heart sellers
It’s Thanksgiving 1973, and life in the USA is lonely for recent Asian immigrants Jane and Luna. Over sips of wine and a questionable frozen turkey, their new friendship quickly blossoms into laughter and shared American dreams. This funny and moving play gives a big-hearted voice to the Asian immigrant experience.
