This is a mildly to moderately vengeful two-person show in which Diana (a lightly fictionalized version of the real Diana) spills their guts about being a lesbian Romanian immigrant in America, while their cousin Nelu (a massively fictionalized version of Diana's real cousin) tells the audience his story of being a raspberry farmer in the Transylvanian countryside whose farm is a front for the mafia. Nelu is NOT gay. Except in this show. This is an absurdist comedy butting up against a confessional monologue. This is a bilingual play in which English clashes with Romanian and the gays wrestle the straights to take control of the stage. This is what happens when factual family history meets the stories we tell ourselves about how we grew up, or how we wish we had.
