"The Heart Sellers" by Lloyd Suh, directed by Jennifer Chang, is an intimate story of immigration. 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 ("The Far Country") explores the experiences of Asian immigrants in the 1970s in this funny and moving two-hander. Susan Kuramoto Moffat (AB '83) will lead the outing, with an optional dinner at Ippuku (delicious Japanese Izakaya at 2130 Center St., Berkeley) beforehand at 5 pm.
