THE HEART SELLERS
Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
Oct. 25-Nov. 23
Shelterhouse Theatre [Eden Park]
Directed by Desdemona Chiang
Cast: Bridget Kim as Jane & Angeleia Ordonez as Luna
A funny and moving new comedy about finding direction in the land of opportunity. When Luna and Jane meet at the supermarket on Thanksgiving Day in 1973, the two women discover they have much in common. They are both Asian immigrants new to America and are spending the day alone while their medical resident husbands work long shifts on the holiday. As Luna and Jane attempt to cook a frozen turkey in two hours and drink a little too much wine, they find solace and companionship in each other. Dreams of Disneyland, disco dancing and learning to drive lead to intimate discussions as they share their hopes and fears for making a new home in a new land. The Heart Sellers is recommended for older teenagers and adults. New to America, two women spend Thanksgiving together sharing their hopes, dreams and a bottle (maybe two) of wine. Using some adult language, their conversation includes the Asian immigrant experience and communism, as well as several references to the male anatomy.
